+These directories contain the source and libraries for the IRAF system, i.e.,
+the system interface or "virtual operating system" (VOS) and the machine
+independent i/o libraries comprising the program interface. To rebuild the
+VOS merely run "mkpkg" after bringing up the bootstrap utilities and libraries
+in host$. To relink the system executables after an important modification
+to the VOS, type "mkpkg update".
