There are some files you can run or look at just to get started:

   README               This document
   install.rb           Run this to install REXML
   suite.rb             A unit test suite.  You must have junit installed
                        to run this.  If you want to run it before you
												install REXML, use "ruby -I. suite.rb".
   index.html           documentation.xml converted to HTML
   tutorial.html        tutorial.xml converted to HTML
   LICENSE.txt          The REXML license
   GPL.txt              The GPL, a fallback license
   docs/                Documentation sources, and other development docs
   api/                 The directory containing the API documentation
                        (in the works).
   rexml/               The REXML package (IE, the sources)
   benchmark/           Contains the benchmarking programs

Any other files are purely detria.  Specifically, sometimes a test.rb file
makes its way into the repository; you can ignore these files.

If you have ruby in your path, you should be able to execute any of the
.rb files, although some of them may not run if you don't have certain
packages installed.

If you want to run these programs without installing REXML, you must make
sure that REXML is in your include path.  For example:

   ruby -I. suite.rb

If you want to include REXML in your application, you can simply copy
the rexml subdirectory to your application directory, and make sure that
it is in your include path.

Please see the documentation for more information.
