+This directory containts the routines to operate a variety
+of color instruments.
+
+If you make use of the instrument driver code here, please note
+that it is the author(s) of the code who take responsibility
+for its operation. Any problems or queries regarding driving
+instruments with the Argyll drivers, should be directed to
+the Argyll's author(s), and not to any other party.
+
+If there is some instrument feature or function that you
+would like supported here, it is recommended that you
+contact Argyll's author(s) first, rather than attempt to
+modify the software yourself, if you don't have firm knowledge
+of the instrument communicate protocols. There is a chance
+that an instrument could be damaged by an incautious command
+sequence, and the instrument companies generally cannot and
+will not support developers that they have not qualified
+and agreed to support.
