Overview
--------
We often need to be able to determine what type of "architecture"
a given machine is, so that we can put the appropriate directories in a 
path or execute the correct program.  No unix utility quite fulfills
our requirements, so we've created the "whatami" program to return
a single unique string on each architecture.  This string is then
used in directory names and in program switches.

See docs/whatami-design.html or docs/whatami-design.txt for further
overview information and see the manual pages for details.

Installation
------------
See the INSTALL file for installation instructions.

Support
-------
The MCS Systems Group is a team of systems administrators, not software
developers.  Our first responsibility is to support the MCS user community,
and code release and support is accomplished only as we can find time,
which is rare.  This program has no warranty, and we can make no promises
as to whether or not it will work.  You assume all risk when using this
code.

Nevertheless, we would like to do our best to fix bugs, release patches and
upgrade software as necessary.  If you have any problems with this program,
please send email to:
  msys-maint@mcs.anl.gov

Please include the program name, the program version, and a description of
the problem or suggestion.  Thanks for trying out this program... let us
know what you think.
