+This distribution is a collection of programs that are generally unrelated,
+except in that they all deal with ELF files.
+
+The main purpose of these programs is to be illustrative and educational --
+to help fellow programmers understand ELF files and something of how they
+work under the Linux platform.
+
+Each program is independent. There is very little shared code between them,
+and in fact they all take slightly different approaches to handling ELF files.
+
+The distribution includes:
+
+* sstrip: a small utility that removes a few bytes from an executable
+ that strip leaves behind.
+
+* objres: a "compiler" for including arbitrary binary resources in object
+ files.
+
+* elftoc: a program that takes an ELF file and generates C code that defines a
+ struct with the same memory image, using the structs and preprocessor
+ symbols defined in <elf.h>.
+
+* elfls: a utility that displays an ELF file's program and/or section header
+ tables, which serve as a kind of global roadmap to the file's contents.
+
+* rebind: a small utility that alters the binding of selected symbols in an
+ object file.
+
+* ebfc: a compiler for a tiny programming language. The compiler can generate
+ ELF executables, object files, and shared libraries.
+
+* infect: an example of how to modify an executable without affecting its
+ original program.
