+SGIKERN -
+
+This directory contains the source for the simple GIO kernel, used to write
+a metacode file using only the simplest possible drawing instructions. This
+makes it relatively easy to implement functional (but probably suboptimal)
+translators for new devices.
+
+Special graphcap entries used by this kernel:
+
+ MF maximum frame count per metafile
+ FS frame advance req'd at start of metafile
+ FE frame advance req'd at end of metafile
