-Just being able to share files isn't always good enough: it's sometimes
-useful to able to share small parts of files.  The Common Files Distribution
-comes with a simple system for extracting requested parts from a @dfn{text

-Text libraries contain a @dfn{header} followed by a number of @dfn{chunks}.
-The start of a chunk is marked by a line containing a string of the form
-@samp{*@@-@var{name}-@@*}; the chunk continues until the start of the next
-chunk, or the end of the file.  The header is simply the text preceding the
-first chunk.

-Here's a simple example of a text library.

-The file contains a short header containing a line to tell Emacs what mode
-to use when editing it and a brief description of the file.  It contains two

-@node The txtlib program,  , Anatomy, Text libraries
-@section The @code{txtlib} program
-
-The @code{txtlib} program can be used to perform some simple operations on
-text libraries:
-
-@example
-txtlib [-x] [-o @var{file}] @var{library}...
-txtlib -l @var{library}...
-@end example
-
-By default, or if the @code{-x} option is given, @code{txtlib} extracts
-chunks from libraries.  It reads a list of chunk names from standard input,
-one per line.  It then examines each @var{library} named on the command line,
-and extracts the requested chunks, writing them to standard output, or to a
-named file.  Note that the chunks are extracted in the order they appear in
-the libraries, not the order in which their chunk names were listed.
-
-If the @code{-l} option is given, @code{txtlib} scans each @var{library} in
-turn, writing the names of all the chunks it finds to standard output.
