+This directory contains a module (dnslib) that implements a DNS
+(Domain Name Server) client, plus additional modules that define some
+symbolic constants used by DNS (dnstype, dnsclass, dnsopcode).
+
+Type "python dnslib.py -/" for a usage message.
+
+You can also import dnslib and write your own, more sophisticated
+client code; use the test program as an example (there is currently no
+documentation :-).
