# This is the Conservatory archive of the MHonArc mail-to-HTML converter. #
# MHonArc is written and still actively maintained by Earl Hood. Because #
# his CVS repository is currently not publicly accessible, we've created #
# this Conservatory Git repository. However, if you have bug reports or #
# other questions, please bring them to https://www.mhonarc.org/. #
# #
# The Conservatory (https://conservatory.github.io/) is a place where #
# free software that has no other public version-controlled home on the #
# Internet is made available in a git repository. For MHonArc, we used #
# https://www.mhonarc.org/MHonArc/CHANGES as a list of all the historical #
# releases available, and found whatever release packages we could on the #
# Internet. We have committed each upstream release package as one git #
# revision, starting from an early 1.0.0 zipfile from 1994. We were not #
# able to find every release, however. We would happily rebuild the git #
# repository to include more releases as people find them. #
# #
# This README is the only file we've changed from upstream, and the only #
# change we made was to add this note. Below is the original content of #
# the README file. #
