+The program `raw', when run in `..' runs the program `run' produced
+from `meas.c'. It produces a raw output file (see `../tmp/*.raw').
+`raw' will die with an error if run in the current directory. Note
+that some versions of `time' produce output in an unexpected format;
+edit them by hand.
+
+`prim', `init', `cswap' and `go' produce formatted table entries used
+in the documentation (in `../doc'). For example, from `..',
+
+ foreach i (tmp/*.raw)
+ time/prim $i
+ end
+
+See notes in the QuickThreads document about the applicability of
+these microbenchmark measurements -- in general, you can expect all
+QuickThreads operations to be a bit slower when used in a real
+application.
