+UDP Broadcast Packet Relay
+==============================
+
+This program listens for packets on a specified UDP broadcast.
+When a packet is received, it sends that packet to all
+specified interfaces but the one it came from as though it
+originated from the original sender.  
+
+The primary purpose of this is to allow games on machines on
+separated local networks (Ethernet, WLAN) that use udp broadcasts
+to find each other to do so.
+
+INSTALL
+-------
+make ; cp udp_broadcast_relay /some/where
+
+
+USAGE
+-----
+/some/where/udp_broadcast_relay udp-port
+
+udp_broadcast_relay must be run as boot to be able to create a raw
+socket (necessary) to send packets though they originated from the
+original sender)
+
+
+COMPATIBILITY
+-------------
+- I run debian woody with Linux 2.4.20, and here it works.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
