+* About Comedi:
+
+Comedi is a collection of drivers for data acquisition hardware.
+These drivers work with Linux, and also with Linux combined with
+the real-time extensions RTAI and RTLinux. The Comedi core, which
+ties all the driver together, allows applications to be written
+that are completely hardware independent.
+
+Comedi supports a variety of data acquisition hardware; an
+incomplete list can be found in the Comedi source.
+
+This distribution contains only the user-space library. You will
+almost certainly also want to download the Comedi kernel modules.
+
+* Installation:
+
+Installation instructions are found in INSTALL.
+
+* Mailing List:
+
+Comedi has a mailing list. Send "subscribe comedi" to
+comedi-request@comedi.org to subscribe. Traffic is light, and mainly
+questions/answers about comedi installation, bugs, and programming.
+General questions about data acquisition are also welcome.
