Learn effort now underway.

     Hello,

     With the joined efforts of Joerg Wunsch, Annelise Anderson, Marty
     Leisner, and myself, Brian Kernighan has given  the  approval  to
     include  into  distribution  a  Learn  program  witten by him and
     Michael Lesk.

     This program is circa 1979, therefore needing a lot  of  work  to
     get  it  up  to  present in terms of content as well as making it
     work effectively into FreeBSD.


          "Kernighan's purpose in creating the program  was,  ac-
          cording  to  those files, to provide direct interaction
          with the unix system.  From the little  I've  used  it,
          "learn"  seems  to  be  a systematic and orderly way to
          learn unix basics from a user point  of  view,  and  it
          might be worthwhile to provide such a utility."

     Help is needed!

     The current src of 'learn' is available via CVSup.
     Just put

               learn-all release=cvs

     in  your  supfile, if you are interested in using it in it's cur-
     rent form and/or would like to contribute to its Lessons.

     A README in the learn directory as well as learn.ms will give you
     an overview of the program. Any questions can be sent to
     "learners at FreeBSD.org".
