+Welcome to SplitIndex, the TeX index splitter. SplitIndex creates
+multiple index files from one (intermediate) raw index.
+See manifest.txt if you want to know the files SplitIndex exists of.
+
+There are a lot of alternatives in using SplitIndex, because I wanted
+solutions for every platform. Not all of the programs are distributed
+in binary form. But splitindex.tex will work at every platform. And you
+need only TeX (even not LaTeX) to run it.
+
+Currently I provide C source prepared for the following platforms:
+
+ - Linux,
+ - OpenBSD,
+ - FreeBSD,
+ - OpenSolaris,
+ - CygWIN Windows
+
+And four platform independent solutions using one of:
+
+ - Perl,
+ - Java 1.4.1,
+ - TeX
+ - TeXLua
+
+If you need support, you can write me a mail. Use
+
+ To: splitindex <komascript(at)gmx.info>
+ Subject: SPLITINDEX: <YourProblem>
+
+And replace <YourProblem> by a short (at least 60 chars) description
+of your problem.
+
+See file install.txt for a description how to install this
+distribution and how to get the manual, which describes how to use
+SplitIndex.

+LEGALESE:
+---------
+
+This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of
+the LaTeX Project Public License, version 1.3c of the license.
+The latest version of this license is in
+ http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
+and version 1.3c or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX
+version 2005/12/01 or later and of this work.
+
+This work has the LPPL maintenance status "author-maintained".
+
+The Current Maintainer and author of this work is Markus Kohm.
+
+The list of all files belongig to the SplitIndex bundle is given in
+in the file `manifest.txt'. Files generated by means of unpacking the
+distribution (using, for example, the docstrip program) or by means
+of compiling them from a source file, for example, from splitindex.c
+or splitindex.java may be distributed at the distributor's discretion.
+However if they are distributed then a copy of the SplitIndex bundle
+must be distributed together with them.
+
+The list of derived (unpacked or compiled) files belongig to the
+distribution and covered by LPPL is defined by the unpacking scripts
+(with extension .ins) and the installation script (with name
+install.sh) which are part of the distribution.
+
+Two often ignorred clauses from LPPL 1.3c you should not ignore:
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+2. You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of the Work as you
+ received it. Distribution of only part of the Work is considered
+ modification of the Work, and no right to distribute such a Derived
+ Work may be assumed under the terms of this clause.
+3. You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a
+ complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2
+ above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that
+ the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly
+ as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work
+ directly from the Work.
+
+Enjoy, Markus.
