+How to make a distribution
+--------------------------
+
+I have written a new tool to generate the distributions that does not rely on
+having a local CVS server --- distr/mkdist.
+
+To use it, you need to specify your CVS work tree, the destination directory
+that the distribution will be written to, plus flags. It should be self-
+documenting; use:
+
+ mkdist --help
+
+...to get documentation.
+
+It uses .distr files in exactly the same way as the previous mechanism.
+
+The documentation for the old distribution tools follows.
