+A couple of notes on this package/port...
+
+* I have included two scripts of my own design, postbin and mailbin.
+ They allow you to easily mail and post stuff using a fairly generic
+ (i.e. probably useful for most people) set of options.
+
+* Documentation and sample configuration files are located in
+ /usr/local/lib/xmitBin/.
+
+* A script, autoSend, has been included. This script is intended to be
+ run automatically (e.g. by cron(8)). It will allow you to periodically
+ post stuff on a regular basis. See the "autoSend.txt" documentation
+ file for more information. The script is located at
+ /usr/local/lib/xmitBin/autoSend. Each user who wishes to use it
+ should copy it to a directory where scripts are kept (e.g. $HOME/bin),
+ and then modify it to suit him/her according to the directions.
