Delay - README file
Tom Rothamel <tom@onegeek.org>
This program implements a way to implement a delay with feedback to the user. It supports a configurable output message, and tries to keep the timing precise.
Please read the INSTALL file for information on how to compile and install this program. Once installed, 'man delay' should display information on how to use the program.
The parsetimel.l and parsetimey.y files were taken from the files parsetime.l and parsetime.y (respectively) from the at-3.1.7 distribution, which was authored by Thomas Koenig and David Parsons. These files are used to implement the "delay until" feature.

For suggesting many of the features added to version 1.2, and helping with Solaris compatiblity.
