+cm_tools are a set of utilities serving as wrappers around the RCS
+system. Particularly, they set the checkin timestamps to the
+modification date rather than the commit date, along with a few other
+differences. They and the directory editor, ded, are designed to work
+together.
+
+td_lib (available from SlackBuilds.org) is required to build this. Note
+that you do not need to actually 'installpkg' td_lib if you do not want
+to. It only needs to be built and when cm_tools is built alongside it,
+cm_tools will find it. You can then remove the td_lib directories and
+package if you don't want them.
+
+The SlackBuild differs from a default installation in not setting the
+set-uid bit on the 'vcs', 'checkin', and 'checkout' binaries. If you
+need this, modify the SlackBuild to suit.
