+This collection of scripts was originally written for older versions
+of bash by Noah Friedman (friedman@gnu.ai.mit.edu). The conversion
+to bash v2 syntax was done by Chet Ramey.
+
+These scripts are as-is; there is no copyright associated with
+any of them. They exist simply as examples of bash scripting.
+
+Here's a description of what's in this directory:
+
+aref.bash pseudo-arrays and substring indexing examples
+bash.sub.bash library functions used by require.bash
+bash_version.bash a function to slice up $BASH_VERSION
+meta.bash enable and disable eight-bit readline input
+mktmp.bash make a temporary file with a unique name
+number.bash a fun hack to translate numerals into english
+prompt.bash a way to set PS1 to some predefined strings
+remap_keys.bash a front end to `bind' to redo readline bindings
+require.bash lisp-like require/provide library functions for bash
+send_mail.bash replacement smtp client written in bash
+shcat.bash bash replacement for `cat'
+source.bash replacement for source that uses current directory
+string.bash the string(3) functions at the shell level
+stty.bash front-end to stty that changes readline bindings too
