+README file for directory ./scripts of the NTP Version 3 distribution
+
+This directory contains shell and perl script files for the configuration,
+monitoring and support of NTP installations. See the README and RELNOTES
+files in the parent directory for directions on how to use these files.
+
+Guess.sh script to figure out what machine and operating system
+ is running this thing. Prizes awarded for new machines
+ added to the list.
+
+autoconf awesome script swiped from Jeff Johnson (who may have
+ swiped it from GNU) which delves deep into the system
+ files to reveal dark secrets necessary to port NTP to
+ everything exceptt sewing machines. Unfinished work.
+
+makeconfig.sh shell script that calles Guess.sh and then figures out
+ what compiler is available, then builds the
+ configuration file in the base directory. Finally, it
+ launches the sed script Config.sed in the base directory
+ to make the makefiles used by most programs.
+
+mklinks script useful to create directories for multiple
+ architecture maintenance
+
+mkversion script useful to create new version numbers for all
+ sources
+
+monitoring directory containing perl scripts useful for monitoring
+ operations
+
+ntp-groper script useful for reaching out and rattling the cages of
+ NTP peers to see if animals are inside the bars
+
+ntp-restart script useful for killing and restarting the NTP daemon
+
+stats directory containing awk ans shell scripts useful for
+ maintaining statistics summaries of clockstats, loopstats
+ and peerstats files
+
+support directory containing shell and perl scripts useful for
+ configuration and monitoring of NTP subnets
