+This is a collection of GPL'ed Atari 8-bit tools developed by
+Jindroush, AKA Jindrich Kubec. The original site has gone offline, but
+there's a copy at archive.org:
+
+http://web.archive.org/web/20010412172202/http://www.asw.cz/~kubecj/asoft.htm
+
+The utilities are:
+
+acvt - converts disk images between xfd, atr, dcm, and other formats.
+adir - extracts files from disk images, supports lots of formats.
+aext - extracts segments from .xex files as blocks of raw data.
+bas2boot - converts Atari BASIC files to bootable disk images.
+chkbas - checks and lists tokenized Atari BASIC files.
+chkexe - lists and optionally disassembles segments in a .xex file.
+chkrom - checks and disassembles Atari 8K and 16K cartridge images.
+
+Originally, these were published separately. This collection was
+put together by B. Watson <urchlay@slackware.uk>. The only changes
+I've made to Jindroush's code:
+
+- The common code from each source .zip file has been collected
+ in the lib/ directory, and the Makefiles were modified to
+ use this library.
+
+- switches.pl: changed a "char *" to a "const char *" to avoid
+ g++ warnings.
+
+- All instances of open() that create files originally created them
+ with mode 0600; changed this to 0666 (which will still be affected
+ by the user's umask).
+
+- Added "listbas" symlink, to save typing "chkbas -short" over and over
+ again.
+
+- adir's -dir option now creates the directory if it doesn't exist.
+
+- Wrote man pages for all the utilities.
