                THIS IS THE README FOR PRTRACEROUTE


INTRODUCTION

	Prtraceroute is part of the PRIDE Tools release. It comes with a 
	simple installation procedure. It relies on having the following:-

		o perl
		o traceroute

	built on your system.

	"perl" and "traceroute" can be obtained from any of the well known
	ftp archive sites (preferably somewhere near to you). 

	Prtraceroute is a version of traceroute that gives additional routing
        policy information. It adds AS information to the normal traceroute
	output, making use of Routing Registry (RR) database information.
	It also checks with the RR database to see how the chosen route
	compares with the the registered routing policies in the RR database.

	For more details look at the manual page.

INSTALLATION

        See the file "INSTALL" for more details on installing prtraceroute.


PORTING ISSUES

        prtraceroute has been tested on both SUNOS and BSDI with various 
        versions of perl and traceroute without any problems.
	prtraceroute uses "hostname". A simple version is supplied if your
        system doesn't have this.
