+WHAT IS ITWEAK?
+
+'itweak' is an interactive debugging utility for the Icon programming
+language. The idea is that you compile your Icon program to ucode
+files (.u1, .u2). 'itweak' then tweaks the ucode, inserting potential
+breakpoints. The resulting ucode files are linked with a debugging
+run-time and off you go. The 'itweak' system provides you with most of
+the facilities you would expect from an interactive debugger,
+including the ability to evaluate a wide range of Icon expressions.
+
+PREREQUISITES
+
+'itweak' requires Icon 8.10 or higher. It is completely written in
+Icon, and thus as portable as Icon itself.
+
+INSTANT ITWEAK -- UNIX
+
+Assuming you have the itweak distribution in the form of a file named
+'itweak-<version>.tar.gz' (where <version> is a version designator):
+uncompress and untar the file. This can be done in a single step,
+
+ gunzip < itweak-<version>.tar.gz | tar xvf -
+
+This will create an installation directory in the current directory.
+The name of the installation directory will be 'itweak-<version>'.
+
+To install itweak, type 'make' in the installation directory. Run a
+demo session by typing 'make demo'.
+
+OTHER SYSTEMS -- NOT SO INSTANT
+
+For systems other than Unix, and for more information, please refer to
+the documentation.

+DOCUMENTATION
