+This directory contains the ACE network service implementations and
+sample driver programs for dynamically configuring them into client
+and server processes. The subdirectories include the following:
+
+ . lib -- contains implementations of the ACE network services.
+ These services include a logging service, a name service,
+ a distributed locking service, and a distributed time service.
+ These can be built as shared libraries (i.e., DLLs), which
+ are then linked into applications either statically or
+ dynamically.
+
+ . servers -- contains the driver program that links the various
+ services together, either statically or dynamically, to
+ form complete server programs.
+
+ . clients -- contains a number of test programs that illustrate
+ how to write clients for the various ACE network services.
+
+Please see the ACE-netsvcs.html file for an overview of the various
+services.
