        !            12: Description:
        !            13: 
        !            14: The  Software  Project  Management  System  (SPMS)  is a system  for the
        !            15: management  of  software   systems.  SPMS  provides,   within  the  UNIX
        !            16: environment (UNIX is a trademark of Bell Telephone  Laboratories, Inc.),
        !            17: a number of commands  which can greatly  simplify many tasks  associated
        !            18: with  program  development  and  maintenance.  SPMS does not  attempt to
        !            19: duplicate existing UNIX program  development tools such as make or SCCS,
        !            20: but instead  provides a way of  coordinating  these  tools.  SPMS can be
        !            21: fitted to existing  software systems.  It retains the full  capabilities
        !            22: of the UNIX  environment with  unrestricted  access to UNIX tools.  As a
        !            23: result,  software  packages  developed  using  SPMS do not depend on the
        !            24: system for their  survival and can be ported to versions of UNIX that do
        !            25: not support SPMS.
        !            26: 
        !            27: Installation:
        !            28: 
        !            29: 1.     Set up directories  /usr/new,  /usr/new/lib,  and /usr/man/mann.
        !            30:        These  must  be writable by the installing process.  If you want
        !            31:        to put SPMS somewhere else,  you will have to change  the  DEST=
        !            32:        macro in all the makefiles, and edit the "spms.h" file in
        !            33:        spms/include.
        !            34: 
        !            35: 2.     Change  to  the  spms  directory  and  execute   "make install".
        !            36:        If something  goes  wrong, don't panic. Just fix the problem and
        !            37:        restart "make install".
        !            38: 
        !            39: Bugfixes/Changes:
        !            40: 
        !            41: The following bugfixes and changes have been made since 4.2BSD.
        !            42: 
        !            43: 1.     The mkmf makefile editor is now independent of SPMS. It has also
        !            44:        been extensively revised. See the mkmf README for more details.
        !            45: 
        !            46: 2.     Pgrep: The exit status is now zero if any matches are found, and
        !            47:        1 if there were no matches. Previously, pgrep always returned 1.
        !            48: 
        !            49: 3.     Plog: The buffer that stores the  "From:"  mail header line  has
        !            50:        been declared static.
        !            51: 
        !            52: 4.     The  project  pathnames  in two tables on pages 15 and 26 of the
        !            53:        SPMS user's guide have been corrected.
