 151     "TECkit is a low-level toolkit intended to be used by other applications
 152 that need to perform encoding conversions (e.g., when importing legacy data
 153 into a Unicode-based application). The primary component of the TECkit
 154 package is therefore a library that performs conversions; this is the
 155 \"TECkit engine\". The engine relies on mapping tables in a specific binary
 156 format (for which documentation is available); there is a compiler that
 157 creates such tables from a human-readable mapping description (a simple
 158 text file).
 159
 160 To facilitate the development and testing of mapping tables for TECkit,
 161 several applications are also included in the current package; these
 162 include simple tools for applying conversions to plain-text and Standard
 163 Format files, as well as both command-line and simple GUI versions of the
 164 TECkit compiler. However, it is not intended that these tools will be the
 165 primary means by which end users perform conversions, and they have not
 166 been designed, tested, and debugged to the extent that general-purpose
 167 applications should be.")
