This is the GNU idutils package. It provides simple, fast, high-capacity, language-independent identifier database tools. Actually, the term `identifier' is too limiting--`mkid' stores tokens, be they program identifiers of any form, literal numbers, or words of human-readable text. Database queries can be issued from the command-line, or from within emacs, serving as an augmented tags facility. `mkid' was originally written by Greg McGary <gkm@gnu.ai.mit.edu> and posted to comp.sources.unix in September 1987. It was then maintained and enhanced by a loose knit group of programmers on the Internet led by Tom Horsley <Tom.Horsley@mail.hcsc.com>. Tom released `mkid2' on comp.sources.unix in March, 1991. Greg McGary resumed maintenance until 2000. See file `COPYING' for copying conditions. See file `INSTALL' for compilation and installation instructions. See file `NEWS' for a list of major changes in the current release. See file `THANKS' for a list of contributors. See file `TODO' for planned enhancements. For any copyright year range specified as YYYY-ZZZZ in this package note that the range specifies every single year in that closed interval. Mail suggestions and bug reports for these programs to <bug-idutils@gnu.org>. Please describe bugs completely: your input, what you expected, what you got, and why it is wrong. Diffs are welcome, but please include a description of the problem as well, since this is sometimes difficult to infer. Local Variables: mode: text fill-column: 75 End:
