+This is the Squid Internet Object Cache developed by the National
+Laboratory for Applied Networking Research (NLANR) and Internet
+volunteers. This software is freely available for anyone to use.
+
+This software is based on the Harvest Object Cache developed by
+the University of Colorado and the University of Southern California.
+The Harvest home page is http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/.
+
+ARPA funding for the Harvest project has ended, the squid project has
+continued development of the cache where Harvest finished.
+
+PORTER'S NOTES. To this moment, Squid is not well documented.
+But you aren't lost in space: there is a mailing list,
+<squid-users@nlanr.net>, where you will find some support and help.
+We also _strongly_ suggest you to examine Web pages noted above.
