+= Ratch -- Ruby-based Batch Scripts
 
-== Welcome to Ratch
+  http://ratch.rubyforge.org
 
-Ratch is a Ruby-based Batch file system. It provides a Ruby-based DSL
-for creating utility/task scripts. It is similar in function to build tools,
-like Make, Ant, Maven, Rake, et al. But unlike these it stears clear
-of monolithic design and instead more closely follows the "UNIX-way".
 
+== Introduction
 
+Ratch is Ruby-based DSL for building batch scripts. It's intent
+is to ease the burdone a batch script writers, by supplementing
+the standard ruby environamet to be more condusive the needs
+of batch scripting.
+
+In addition to using Ratch to write stand-alone batch scripts,
+it makes a very powerful library for other applications that
+require batch-like functionality. In general any program that
+access the file system extensively could benifit from it's use.
+
+
+
 == Installation
 
+Standard installation procedure apply.
+
   $ gem install ratch
 
-Or download the tar.gz and install manually,
+or manually
 
-  $ tar -xvzf ratch-x.y.z.tar.gz
-  $ cd ratch-x.y.z
-  $ sudo task/setup
+  $ tar -xzf ratch-1.0.0.tgz
+  $ cd ratch-1.0.0
+  $ setup-rb all
 
-For Windows users the last line will be:
 
-  $ ruby task/setup
 
-
 == Usage
 
-Basic usage simply entails writing a script that utilizes Ratch's syntax.
-See lib/ratch/toolset/ruby for examples.
+To use for your own scripts, simply add a bang line.
 
+  #!/usr/bin/env ratch
 
+On Windows, of course, you will want to associate the .ratch extension
+name to the ratch executable instead.
+
+To use Ratch as a library, simply require 'ratch', and subclass.
+
+  require 'ratch'
+
+  class MyClass < Ratch::Service
+
+
+  end
+
+Ratch also provides a delegated service which automatically supplies
+method_missing() to delegate to the given *context*. This is called
+a Ratch Plugin.
+
+  class MyClass < Ratch::Plugin
+
+  end
+
+  MyClass.new(context)
+
+For details on all the functionality Ratch provides, please refer to
+the API documentation.
