	       ___ Region Oriented Ascii Processor ___

Summary
=======

when multiple character sequences of a line are scanned and a specific pattern
is in agreement, the data of region is assigned to the stdin of an execution
file. The output result when completing all scans appears in standard output as it is.

Description
===========

What is necessary is only for a required item to write, if it is it, and just to
be able to automate the rest. Although it is not difficult to treat the stream
like a shell script itself, it is not rather easy in a shell script to assign
the stream to a separate filter. roap is the project which realizes it.

System requirement
==================

It's necessity for running Python under following operating system.

  POSIX (Linux, BSD, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, etc...)
  Windows 95/98/Me/2000

Install
=======

  # python setup.py install

  executable file is `roap' here.

enjoy!
