+	This is the new version (0.5) of the second extended file system
+management programs.  You need to run Linux 1.0 or above to use it since
+some programs used some ext2fs features that where not available in
+previous kernel versions.
+
+	This version contains programs written by Theodore T'so and Remy Card.
+This distribution was packaged by Ted and Remy with the help of Stephen Tweedie
+and Alexy Vovenko.
+
+	The programs written or rewritten by Ted are:
+	- libext2fs: a new library containing entries to access the control
+	  structures of a second extended file system.
+	- e2fsck: a new file system checker which uses optimized routines.
+	  This new checker is much more efficient and safer than the old
+	  e2fsck.
+	- mke2fs: a new file system creator which uses the ext2fs library.
+	- debugfs: a file system debugger which can be used to examine and
+	  change the state of a file system.  Use it with caution since it
+	  can corrupt file systems if you are not careful.
+	- fsck: a new fsck front-end.  This new fsck can run multiple
+	  several file system checks simultanously if they are on different
+	  disks.
+
+	The programs written by Remy are:
+	- badblocks: a new bad blocks checker.  It can be run by the super
+	  user to search for bad blocks on a device and can also be called
+	  by e2fsck and mke2fs.
+	- dumpe2fs: a new program which displays the control structure of
+	  a file system.  To understand the output of this program, one needs
+	  to know the physical structure of a second extended file system.
+	- mklost+found: re-creates a lost+found directory if it has been
+	  deleted.
+	- tune2fs: adjusts tunable paramaters on a file system.
+	- chattr: changes files attributes and version.
+	- lsattr: lists files attributes and version.
+
+	Manual pages are included in this package.
+
+	See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
+
+	In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted <tytso@mit.edu>
+and Remy <card@masi.ibp.fr>.
