+This is an beta release of GNU ptx, a permuted index generator. GNU
+ptx can handle multiple input files at once, produce TeX compatible
+output, or a readable KWIC (keywords in their context) without the
+need of nroff. This version does not handle huge input files, that
+is, those which do not fit in memory all at once.
+
+The command syntax is not the same as UNIX ptx: all given files are
+input files, the results are produced on standard output by default.
+GNU ptx manual is provided in Texinfo format. Calling `ptx --help'
+prints an option summary. Please note that an overall renaming of all
+options is foreseeable: GNU ptx specifications are not frozen yet.
+
+See the file COPYING for copying conditions.

+See the file NEWS for a list of major changes in the current release.

+See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.

+Mail suggestions and bug reports (including documentation errors) for
+these programs to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
