+README file for directory ./clockstuff of the NTP Version 3 distribution
+
+This directory contains the sources for utility programs designed to
+support radio clocks. The chutest.c and clktest.c are desgined to
+test the chu_clk and tty_clk line disciplines and STREAMS modules in
+the ../kernel directory.
+
+These files have been modified to work with either the line disciplines
+or the STREAMS modules. Be sure to define -DSTREAM if appropriate.
+
+These are random bits of things written to help with clocks. You can
+make things in here by typing one or more of:
+
+ make propdelay (or `make')
+ make chutest
+ make clktest
+
+Propdelay computes high frequency propagation delays, given the
+longitude and latitude of the transmitter and receiver. Use
+this for WWV/H and CHU. Don't use it for WWVB (the computation
+is easier for that).
+
+Chutest can be used to input and process data from a CHU modem
+attached to a serial port. It will use the CHU line discipline
+(if installed), or raw mode otherwise. This was used to test
+out the initial reduction algorithms, and may not be up to date.
+
+Clktest can be used to test the clock line discipline (CLKLDISC,
+it must be available), and to take a look at radio clocks attached to a
+serial port.
