+STANDARD EZMLM DATABASE INTERFACE
+
+These files comprise the ezmlm subscriber database interface. issub.c and
+subscribe.c are backwards compatible with ezmlm-0.53 in terms of function,
+but use a case-insensitive hash for address storage, and take a few
+extra args to be plug-in compatible with alternative interfaces. Logging to
+the subscriber log (DIR/Log) is done from subscribe.c rather than externally,
+and the subscriber from line is logged as well.
+
+searchlog.c allows access to DIR/Log.
+
+putsubs.c does all output of subscriber addresses, both to qmail for subscibers,
+moderator sendouts, etc, and to list subscribers in reply to the -list command.
+
+Alternative subscriber db interface routines should perform equivalent services,
+and fall back to these services if the alternative interface is not configured,
+e.g. if DIR/sql doe not exist.
+
+HOW TO SET UP A CLUSTER OF LIST AND SUBLISTS WITH STD DBS
+
+See FAQ.idx.
+
+See SQL-enabled ezmlm list documentation in FAQ.idx for a different
+trade-off between these points.
