+
+		  The ntp Distribution Base Directory
+
+This directory and its subdirectories contain the Network Time Protocol
+Version 4 (NTP) distribution for Unix and Windows/NT systems.  This release
+may still work on VxWorks, too.
+
+The contents of the base directory are given in this file. The contents of
+subdirectories are given in the README files in each subdirectory.
+
+A complete explanation of the configure, compile and install process, as
+well as setting up an NTP subnet, is in the HTML pages in the ./html/
+directory. For more information on NTP and how to get a working setup,
+read WHERE-TO-START.
+
+For Windows/NT, visit html/build/hints/winnt.html .
+
+The base directory ./ contains the autoconfiguration files, source
+directories and related stuff:
+
+COPYRIGHT	Excerpt from the HTML file ./html/copyright.html. This file
+		specifies copyright conditions, together with a list of
+		major authors and electric addresses.
+
+INSTALL		Generic installation instructions for autoconf-based programs.
+		Unless you really know what you are doing, you should read the
+		directions in the HTML pages, starting with ./html/index.html.
+
+NEWS		What's new in this release.
+
+README		This file.
+
+README.bk	Instructions for folks who use the BitKeeper-repository
+		version of NTP.
+
+README.hackers	Notes to folks who want to hack on the code.
+
+TODO            List of items the NTP developers are working on.
+
+WHERE-TO-START	Hints on what to read in order to get a working
+		configuration.
+
+Makefile.am	Automake file configuration file. Edit only if you have the
+		GNU automake and autoconf utilities installed.
+
+Makefile.in	Autoconf make file template for Unix.
+
+adjtimed        Directory containing the sources for the adjtime daemon
+		for HP/UX systems prior to HP-UX 10.0.
+
+authstuff       Directory containing sources for miscellaneous programs
+		to test, calibrate and certify the cryptographic
+		mechanisms for DES and MD5 based authentication. These
+		programs do not include the cryptographic routines
+		themselves, so are free of U.S. export restrictions.
+
+build		A script to build the distribution in A.`config.guess`
+		subdirectory (more or less).
+
+clockstuff	Directory containing sources for miscellaneous programs
+		to test certain auxiliary programs used with some kernel
+		configurations, together with a program to calculate
+		propagation delays for use with radio clocks and
+		national time dissemination services such as WWV/WWVH,
+		WWVB and CHU.
+
+conf            Directory containing a motley collection of
+		configuration files for various systems. For example only.
+
+config.guess	Script used to identify the machine architecture and
+		operating system.
+
+config.h.in	Configuration file generated automatically from
+		configure.in. Do not edit.
+
+configure	Script used to configure the distribution. See the HTML pages
+		(./html/index.html) for a complete description of the options
+		available.
+
+configure.in	Master configuration template. Edit only if you have the
+		GNU automake and autoconf utilities installed.
+
+dot.emacs	C-mode indentation rules for code "Just the way Dave likes it".
+
+flock_build	(UDel only) Build the distribution on a number of
+		different platforms.
+
+html            Directory containing a complete set of documentation on
+		building and configuring a NTP server or client. The
+		documentation is in the form of HTML files suitable for
+		browsing and contains links to additional documentation
+		at various web sites. If a browser is unavailable, an
+		ordinary text editor can be used.
+
+include		Directory containing include header files used by most
+		programs in the distribution.
+
+install-sh	Script to install a program, script or data file.
+
+kernel		Directory containing sources for kernel programs such as
+		line disciplines and STREAMS modules used with the CHU
+		decoder and precision PPS signals.
+
+libntp		Directory containing library source code used by most
+		programs in the distribution.
+
+ntpdate		Directory containing sources for a program to set the
+		local machine time from one or more remote machines
+		running NTP.  Operates like rdate, but much more accurate.
+
+ntpq            Directory containing sources for a utility program to
+		query local and remote NTP peers for state variables and
+		related timekeeping information. This program conforms
+		to Appendix A of the NTP Version 3 Specification RFC 1305.
+
+ntptrace        Directory containing sources for a utility program that
+		can be used to reveal the chain of NTP peers from a
+		designated peer to the primary server at the root of the
+		timekeeping subnet.
+
+parse		Directory containing files belonging to the generic
+		parse reference clock driver. For reasonably simple
+		clocks it is possible to get away with about 3-4Kb of
+		code. additionally the SunOS 4.x/Solaris 5.3 streams
+		module for parse squats here.
+
+patches		Directory containing patches already applied to this
+		distribution. These are included for record and to help
+		in possible porting problems.
+
+scripts		Directory containing scripts to build the configuration
+		files in this directory and then the makefiles used in
+		various dependent directories. the subdirectories
+		monitoring and support hold various perl and shell
+		scripts for visualizing synchronization and daemon startup.
+
+stamp.h.in	Configuration file generated automatically from configure.in.
+		Do not edit.
+
+util            Directory containing sources for various utility and
+		testing programs.
