+This is the source directory for the GNU emacs lisp library Elib
+version 1.0. Elib is designed to be for Elisp programs what libg++ is
+for C++ programs: a collection of useful routines which don't have to
+be reinvented each time a new program is written.
+
+Elib contains code for:
+ - container data structures (queues, stacks, AVL trees, etc)
+ - string handling functions missing in standard emacs
+ - minibuffer handling functions missing in standard emacs
+ - routines for handling lists of so called cookies in a buffer.
