Program:	sleep v1.2

Description:	'sleep' is a DOS port of the UNIX program by the same name.
		'sleep' is primarily intended to suspend execution of batch
		files for a specified time. 'sleep' honours the DOS switchar
		setting and gives up time-slices to operating systems that
		support it.

		This program was written for the FreeDOS Project, a 16-bit,
		free DOS that aims to duplicate and extend functionality
		of MS-DOS 3.3. For more information about FreeDOS, please
		see <http://www.freedos.org/>.

Installation:	Unzip the archive to a temp directory. Move SLEEP.EXE to a
		directory on your PATH so that you can use it from any
		directory. The archive also includes the following files:

		LICENSE.TXT	{ licensing/copying information }
		SLEEP.PAS	{ Turbo Pascal 7.0 source code for sleep }
		SLEEP.HLP	{ help file -- like UNIX man page }
		NEWS		{ History file }
		README.TXT	{ This file }
		SLEEP12.LSM	{ LSM-format description of package }

		The other files should be moved to another directory for
		future reference. Reading SLEEP.HLP, while not mandatory,
		might give you a better feel for how to use the program.
		Of course, typing 'sleep /?' or 'sleep --help' will give you
		enough information for the impatient to get started,
		especially those of you who know and love UNIX.

Programming:	If you intend to make changes to the source code and distribute
		your work, you must read LICENSE.TXT and conform to the
		policy laid out therein. Please, adhere to the reasonable
		freedoms described in the GNU GPL. Since I'm the author and
		current maintainer of the code, if you make productive changes,
		I'd very much appreciate it if you'd share your changes with
		me so that they can be incorporated in a new and improved
		release of 'sleep'.

Distribution:	Per the GNU General Public License Version 2 (or later).
		Please see the file LICENSE.TXT for more information.
