+What basically happens is that specially marked-up data in the LON-CAPA
+cvs repository file <TT>doc/loncapafiles.html</TT> is parsed into a more
+viewable format by <TT>loncom/build/parse.pl</TT>.  The resulting
+file gives a very well organized view of all the files, directories,
+links, ownerships, permissions, and brief documentation of what each
+file does.
