+--- Overview ---
+
+This repository can be divided into three parts:
+
+ * mu (top directory)
+ * toc
+ * list
+
+`make install' will install all of these. You may want to set
+TMACDIR, BINDIR and MANDIR before installing.
+
+--- Summary ---
+
+* Mu is a simple and modern troff macro package. It is divided
+ into two files:
+
+ u.tmac -- base macros
+ ux.tmac -- extra macros (optional)
+
+* Toc provides a simple method of creating forward references, such
+ as tables of contents, in troff documents. It consists of a
+ shell script and a macro package:
+
+ toc -- runs troff in multiple passes
+ toc.tmac -- macros to be used with toc
+
+* List provides a way to include source code in troff documents
+ without needing to escape special characters. It consists of a
+ single Perl script:
+
+ list -- escapes text between .l( and .l)
