 Please observe the following notes when making changes to the source
 tree.
 
-We use the included ss and et libraries only when configured without
---enable-athena.  configure uses the BUILDTOP make variable to locate
-the top of the build tree in order to refer to automatically generated

-lib/dyn and lib/ss are internal libraries, i.e. they are only used by
-programs (xzwrite uses lib/dyn and zctl uses lib/ss), not by the
-Zephyr API.  lib/et and lib/zephyr are external libraries; they are
-necessary for linking programs which use Zephyr, so their libraries
-are installed in the library directory.  Note that the library built
-in lib/et is named libcom_err.a, not libet.a, and that it is only
-installed if --enable-athena is not used.
-
 The directory h contains header files used internally in the zephyr
 source tree.  The directory h/zephyr contains header files containing
 declarations for the Zephyr API.  h/zephyr/zephyr_err.h is generated
 from lib/zephyr/zephyr_err.et when lib/zephyr is built.
 h/zephyr/zephyr.h is generated by configure, as is h/config.h.  Those

-Two header files, h/zephyr/zephyr.h and lib/et/com_err.h (when

 The Zephyr system version number is kept in server/version.c, and
 should be updated when releases are made.
