This package consists of the following files:
* README      - you are reading it
* xrshells    - the expect script
* xrshells.1  - the man page
* Makefile    - the installation makefile
* COPYING     - the GNU General Public License

What does it do:
This program is intended for system administrators who  have to  modify
files on multiple machines. xrshell opens remote shells to multiple machines
while keystrokes are  read  from the  initiating  terminal and distributed
over the different remote shells. Since this can be a bit dangerous,
the  keys- trokes  and  their effects are shown in separate xterms (one
for each machine).

What platform do I need:
Any Unix flavor running expect (I have tested it with version 5.26.0) and
X should be just fine. The program needs quite a few open file descriptors
when you open many remote shells to different machines, so in your shell
you may have to adjust your maximum number of open file descriptors
(ulimit for sh or limit for csh).

How to install:
0) Read the file COPYING. It applies to this package.
1) Have a look at the "Makefile" (shocking, I know :-) and change the
   location of EXPECT and the installation directories BINDIR and MANDIR
   to your liking. In case you have installed ssh and you did not link rsh
   to ssh, you want to change RSH as well. If you already have a program
   called xrshells on your system you can install xrshell under a different
   name by changing XRSHELLS.
2) Say the magic words:
      make
      make install
