+All rights reserved.

+
+Installation instructions:
+
+Install Mail::Mailer, Date::Format, Net::FTP and String::ShellQuote from CPAN.
+Install Net::SSH, Net::SCP and Digitiz_It::SKU supplied with this distribution.
+
+Copy digitiz-xfer.conf to the /etc directory, and edit the values to taste.
+
+Run digitiz-xfer.
+
+Important note on usage: While digitiz-xfer is running, make sure to place
+files in the $source_directory atomicly; in other words, *don't do:
+
+        cp /some/file /opt/media/staging # NO!
+
+but instead do:
+
+        cp /some/file /opt/media/tmpdir
+        mv /opt/media/tmpdir/file /opt/media/staging/
+
+(important: /opt/media/tmpdir and /opt/media/staging must be on the *same
+filesystem*)
+
+`mv' on the same filesystem is an atomic operation, but a `cp' or `mv' from
+a different filesystem isn't.
