-snooper - serial line snooping tool
-	The tool is for snooping communication between two devices
-	that communicate with RS232C serial line.
+Snooper is a tool for snooping communication between two devices
+that communicate with an RS232C serial line.
+	
+For example, say you would like to snoop the following configuration
+		partyA ---cableAB--- partyB
+where partyA is a computer and partyB is a computer/modem/digi-cam/whatever.
 
-Machine configuration
-	There are 3 machines/modems to take part in the configuration.
-	We will denote those machines as follows:
-		partyA		a computer 
-		partyB		computer/modem/digi-cam/whatever
-		console		The computer you are using to snoop
-				the communication between A and B.
+A third machine called "console" running snooper can be used to snoop 
+the connection between partyA and cableAB, as follows:
+	partyA ---cableX--- <dev0>console<dev1>---cableAB--- party B
 
-	Say, you would like to snoop the following configuration.
-		partyA ---cableAB--- partyB
-	In that case you should connect "console" between partyA and
-	cableAB, as follows:
-		partyA ---cableX--- console ---cableAB--- party B
-	cableX must be cross-cable (a cable to connect two computers).
+cableX must be cross-cable (a cable to connect two computers).
 
-Command-line options
+Command-line options:
 	% snooper [-options] dev0 dev1
 		-bBAUD	specifies baud rate.
 		-u	don't use uucp locking (questionable option)
-		dev0	name of serial device 0.
-		dev1	name of serial device 1.
