+Beta test distribution READ-ME file.
+-----------------------------------
+
+THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
+IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Now, with that out of the way, let me point you to a few things:
+
+The file doc/TREE-GRAPH is a graphical representation of the source
+directory tree you should receive with this distribution.
+
+The file doc/SOURCE-TREE describes what's in each directory.
+
+The file doc/HOW_TO_BUILD gives instructions on how to start build
+Kerberos.
+
+We used the ISODE release 8.0 ASN.1 compiler for the code we have run
+and tested here at MIT.  If you are using ISODE 6.8, you will need to
+apply the patches found in the file tools/pepsy-diffs to fix some bugs
+in the PEPSY compiler which have caused us problems.  I believe that
+ISODE 8.0 should work without any problems.  However, I have not had a
+chance to try it out.

+Appreciation Time!!!!  There are far too many people to try to thank
+them all; many people have contributed to the development of Kerberos
+V5.  This is only a partial listing....  
+
+Thanks to Mark Eichin at Cygnus for writing the new autoconf
+configuration system, for making the code much more portable, and for
+serving as pre-release testers.
+
+Thanks to Marc Horowitz, Barry Jaspan, and Jonathan Kamens (and
+others) at Openvision, Inc. for providing us with an GSS-API library,
+for serving as pre-release testers, and for finding and fixing many
+bugs (some of them at the last minute!).
+
+Thanks to Cybersafe for providing patches to fix bugs with inter-realm
+authentication.  
+
+Thanks to Ari Medivnsky and Cliff Neumann for writing a ksu client.
+
+Thanks to Jim Miller from Suite Software for contributing many detailed
+bug reports, most of them by doing desk checks over the code!
+
+Thanks to Prasad Upasani from ISI for porting the Berkeley
+rlogin/rsh/rcp suite and for testing out our distribution on the Sun.
+
+Thanks to Glenn Machin and Bill Wrahe from Sandia National Labs for
+contributing the kadmin server, plus lots of bugfixes.
+
+Thanks to Bill Sommerfeld from HP for commenting on early Kerberos
+interface drafts, suggesting improvements in later coding interfaces,
+and finding and fixing many bugs.
+
+Thanks to Paul Borman from Cray for writing the Kerberos v4 to v5 glue
+layer and the Kerberos v5 subroutines for telnet.  
+
+Thanks to Dan Bernstein, for providing the replay cache code.  
+
+Thanks to the members of the Kerberos V5 development team at MIT, both
+past and present: Jay Berkenbilt, John Carr, Don Davis, Nancy Gilman,
+Barry Jaspan, John Kohl, Cliff Neuman, Jon Rochlis, Jeff Schiller, Ted
+Ts'o, Tom Yu.
