-# @(#)README 8.28 (Berkeley) 11/2/95
-
-This is version 2.0-ALPHA of the Berkeley DB code.
-THIS IS A PRELIMINARY RELEASE.
-
-For information on compiling and installing this software, see the file
-PORT/README.
-
-Newer versions of this software will periodically be made available by
-anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/db.tar.{Z,gz} and from
-ftp.harvard.edu:margo/db.tar.{Z,gz}. If you want to receive announcements
-of future releases of this software, send email to the contact address
-below.
-
-Email questions may be addressed to dbinfo@eecs.harvard.edu.

-Distribution contents:
-
-README This file.
-CHANGELOG List of changes, per version.
-btree B+tree access method.
-db The db_open interface routine.
-docs Various USENIX papers, and the formatted manual pages.
-hash Extended linear hashing access method.
-lock Lock manager.
-log Log manager.
-man The unformatted manual pages.
-mpool The buffer manager support.
-mutex Mutex support.
-recno The fixed/variable length record access method.
-test Test package.
-txn Transaction support.

-============================================
-Debugging:
-
-If you're running a memory checker (e.g. Purify) on DB, make sure that
-you recompile it with "-DPURIFY" in the CFLAGS, first. By default,
-allocated pages are not initialized by the DB code, and they will show
-up as reads of uninitialized memory in the buffer write routines.
+ IMPORTANT NOTICE:
+
+This directory contains code of somewhat unknown origin that is
+INCOMPATIBLE with both Berkeley DB 1.85 and Sleepycat DB 2.x. Do NOT
+contact Sleepycat regarding bugs in code found here; they do not
+appreciate it. All bug reports about this code should go to the MIT
+Kerberos team via krb5-send-pr or email to krb5-bugs@mit.edu, as
+usual.
+
+It is believed that this "db" code originated from Berkeley DB 1.85
+and was further modified by Cygnus and the MIT Kerberos team. Some
+significant changes to the hash code occured at some point.
+
+The file README.db2 contains the README file provided with the
+2.0-alpha release of Berkeley/Sleepycat DB, which may contain
+marginally useful information. It is not known at this time how well
+this code matches that of the 2.0-alpha release.
