+These are my Bash configuration files. I use them on Xubuntu Linux and Mac OS X,
+but I see no reason why they would not work on other Unix-like systems.
+
+Code is licensed under the MIT License (included in the file "license.txt")
+unless otherwise licensed.
+
+Code is best viewed in a monospace font with line width set to 80 characters
+and tab stops set to 4 spaces.
+
+I hope you find my code useful and educational!
