==== Description: ====
GNU recutils is the definition and the implementation of
a simple format for data storage in text files.  The 
data is structured in records of the form:

   Name: Jose E. Marchesi
   Email: address@hidden
   Address:
   + Einbahnstrasse 100
   + Ausfarth am Main
   + Germany

It supports some degree of data integrity with the usage of record
descriptors, as well as the ability of referring
other records.

The package comprises:

- A texinfo manual describing the Rec format.
- A C library (librec) providing a rich set of functions
  to access rec files.
- A set of C utilities (recinf, recset, recins, recdel,
  recset and recfix) that can be used in shell scripts
  and in the command line to quickly operate on rec files.
- An emacs mode (rec-mode).

The current status of the package is:

- The library is implemented.
- The utilities are implemented.
- The manual needs some more work.
- The emacs mode needs more work.

The package was first "published" in the recent
GNU Hackers Meeting.  The plan is to make the
first delivery shortly after it gets approved.

==== Other Comments: ====
