This package contains the Hydra utility for splitting and joining files.
Standard GNU installation instructions are in the file INSTALL; this package
uses the usual

	./configure
	make
	make install

sequence.  Currently "make check" should run in reasonable time, but there are
a few more tests commented out.  Edit Makefile.am and run automake in the
tests directory, redo "make check" from the top directory and wait several
hours to fully test the splitting and rejoining capabilities.

Usage instructions are given in the man page.  A detailed document
describing the splitting method and file format might be published at a
later date.

The file tests/mediumtestfile is from Project Gutenberg and its terms of
distribution are described inside it.  The rijndael-alg-ref, rijndael-api-ref
and boxes-ref.dat files in the rijndael directory are derived from reference
source code for the Rijndael (AES) algorithm and are placed in the public
domain by the original authors.  These files are not covered by the conditions
in COPYING.

Early versions of the program were named mofn and the name was changed to
hydra.  This is why various source files and names still refer to mofn.
There is at least one other software package and a chess-playing computer
called Hydra so another name change might be in order.
