                               PREFACE


     Following is a brief synopsis of each article/file  that  appears
     in  the  SWSKIT  documentation.   Please  note that many of these
     articles are preliminary functional specs  and  discussions,  and
     may  contain some information that is completely false.  However,
     the material is provided to be used with proper  caution  because
     it  does  provide  information  not otherwise available in useful
     form at this time.  Over time, many of these  documents  will  be
     replaced  by SDC-type materials.  For other items, these articles
     may be the main source of information for quite a while.
