YOUR README.TXT FILE

A README.TXT file is type of documentation for your work. It is a plaintext 
file that accompanies your project, and identifies all sorts of salient 
information about the project.

Whenever you've started a New Project in BlueJ, you may have noticed that a 
generic README.TXT file is created in your project folder as part of that 
process, and that file does as good job of describing exactly what it is to be 
used for:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This is the project README file. Here, you should describe your project.
    Tell the reader (someone who does not know anything about this project)
    all he/she needs to know. The comments should usually include at least:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    PROJECT TITLE:
    PURPOSE OF PROJECT:
    VERSION or DATE:
    HOW TO START THIS PROJECT:
    AUTHORS:
    USER INSTRUCTIONS:

In addition to the information listed above, the README.TXT file often contains 
other information about the program:

* the program's history
* which features currently work, which have limitations, and which don't work 
  at all or are being debugged
* which features haven't been implemented yet but are planned for future 
  releases
* how to contact the author or developer with questions, corrections

In this project the README.TXT file will be a major component in your final 
project. The instructor needs to know this information for being able to 
evaluate the program, and may cite this information when exhibiting your work 
to others.
