+This is yencode, an encoder/decoder package for the Usenet "yEnc"
+format, licensed under the GNU General Public License.
+
+* The encoder can output single part or multipart yencoded
+ archives of any size.
+
+* Smart decoder can handle multiple files, including files
+ specified out of order or with nonsense file names.
+
+* Easy to use Usenet posting software enables one-liner
+ posting of individual files or groups of files, including creation
+ of SFV/CRC checksum files if desired.
+
+* Optional scan mode: automatically locate and decode
+ single or multipart yencoded archives in specified directories
+ or recursively.
+
+* Fully compliant with all versions of the yEnc
+ specification (currently v1, v2, v3).
+
+* Properly implements CRC values, including the pcrc32 on
+ each part of multipart archives, and a crc32 for the last part
+ of a multipart archive.
