############################################################

  FDclone is a file & directory maintenance tool for the UNIX
based OS (called as "UNIX" expediently below). It is a clone
of "FD" for MS-DOS, made by Mr. A.Idei <SDI00544@niftyserve.or.jp>
in 1989.
  I make it as similar as possible in its specifications, but
implement it quite originally.

  The reason why I called it a clone is based on the fact that
"FD" is so popular that Japanese MS-DOS users treat the name
of "FD" as the synonym of file maintenance tools.
  Once, there was a file maintenance tool for UNIX named 'fu'
(made by Mr. Takashi Tashiro <PDC02432@niftyserve.or.jp>),
with which I was concerned to develop. I heard that many users
rename it "fd" as alias.
  I think that the users came from MS-DOS to UNIX adapt to
this name, because of easy typing.
  Therefore, it seemed effective that development of the tool
based on it as its specifications made UNIX novices who came
from MS-DOS adapt the UNIX environment naturally.

  From the above reason, this FDclone is made. While there
ware long transitions and difficulties on its way, at last,
I complete and release it. I dare say I'm happy.

  The copyright of FDclone belongs to:
	[ Takashi Shirai <shirai@unixusers.net> ]
  However, you are allowed freely to distribute, change,
include and use secondarily the all sources, without any
restriction.
  New development from my products, based on the source of
FDclone, will satisfy me as author. You can recycle it
freely.

  But, an act which adds restriction to use and distribution
of FDclone, for example applying the patent about FDclone
without permission, is forbidden entirely, because it
becomes the act against the ideology of free software.


  Please tell me individually about distribution of the
executable binary via CD-ROM or various networks.
  However, secondary distribution of the already distributed
binary follows licenses of each distributor, then you
should tell them details.

  The distributor's address of a distributed binary is
displayed on the function line of the help screen, it is
shown by HELP_MESSAGE command.
  If there is not this address, or the version number in
a title line don't suffix the character of '#', it is
revealed to be an unofficial distributed binary. Then I
have no responsibilities for it.

  Please refer to each document for details. Compile
according to `Install', and see man page for operational
details after installation.
  I've prepared FAQ. When you got some troubles, read
these documents before asking me. Almost troubles will
be solved with FAQ and man page.
  You can compile this not only on each UNIX but also on
MS-DOS, compiling on MS-DOS makes you need to replace
Makefile.

  UNIX is the registered trademark licensed by X/Open Company
Ltd. However, the name of UNIX called in each document of
FDclone is not means UNIX OS licensed by X/Open, but means
the any OS derived from unics, AT&T Bell Laboratory developed.
  Though I don't intend to invade the copyright of X/Open,
the generic name means these all is disappeared, so I use
this name expediently.
