<p>Large projects are often most naturally divided into a number of
independently maintained sub-projects.  For example, <code>arch</code>
 itself
consists of six separate projects:
</p><pre>
        ./src
                A generic top-level source file for combining
                projects.

</pre>
<pre>
        ./src/arch
                arch itself.  That is, the `arch' command and all of
                the shell scripts that implement it.

</pre>
<pre>
        ./src/file-utils
                Generic utilities for operating on files and
                directories.

</pre>
<pre>
        ./src/ftp-utils
                A scriptable FTP client.

</pre>
<pre>
        ./src/hackerlab
                The hackerlab C library.

</pre>
<pre>
        ./src/text-utils
                Generic utilities for operating on text files.

</pre>
<p>In an <code>arch</code>
 source tree, each of those sub-directories is a separate
project tree (each has its own <code>{arch}</code>
 subdirectory;  each was
initialized by the command <code>larch init-tree</code>
;  each is in a separate
category in the repository).
</p><p>To put all the pieces together, use the <code>arch</code>

</p><p>Config file format, e.g.:

    # Check out an arch distribution from the devo branches.  
    # Latest revisions.
