-This version is not completed.  Please contact utashiro@sra.co.jp if
-you have any comment about this code.  Bugfix will be greatly appreciated.
+This Sony MIPS R3000 based workstation support is done as an activity of
+WIDE research project.  Sony Corporation contributed most device drivers
+and gave us great technical supports.  Kazumasa Utashiro worked mainly
+4.4BSD implementation but that work was based on 4.3BSD-Reno port helped by
+other project members, especially Tadamichi Matsuyama and Hidetoshi Unno.
+
+This version is just a snapshot of developing system and has many
+unimplemented features and bugs.  Please contact utashiro@sra.co.jp if you
+have any comments about this code.  Bugfix will be greatly appreciated.

-I'm using NWS-3200 laptop machine for development.  Only 3200's LCD display
-is supported now.  You can use this kernel on 3400 by serial line console,
-but it is not tested well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Config command is not changed to support NEWS because it will be changed
-to support dual processor machine in the future.  Diffs are in CONFIG.DIFF
-in /sys/news3400 directory.

-GCC 2.x has a problem to build library objects.  Usually library object is
-made by following way:

 
 

-       cc -c x.c
-       ld -r -x x.o
-       mv a.out x.o
+Currently GCC is used as a compiler which uses as and ld come with NEWS-OS.
+They should soon be replaced by the latest GAS because it supports BSD
+a.out format for MIPS.

 
 

-But using gcc 2.x (at least 2.2.2), some objects made by this way can't be
-linked.  ld complains that the object has bad isym.
