+
+Run any .bat or .pl file with no arguments to get syntax and command line options.
+
+*Directory structure*
+
+Main directory contains XLST and Perl scripts and the .bat files that call them
+docs contains this file
+lib contains common XSLT modules
+xalanj contains an implementation of Xalan-J, an XSLT processor implemented in Java
+
+
+*The tools*
+
+Filtering tools: 
+filtering.xsl - Filter a sysdef in the 2.0 or 3.0 syntax
+filtering.bat - Call filtering.xsl using xalan-j
+
+Joining tools: 
+joinsysdef.pl - Create a stand-alone sysdef from a linked set of fragments. Supports confguring via an .hrh file. By default this also embeds any linked metadata.
+joinsysdef.bat - Call joinsysdef.pl
+joinsysdef.xsl - Create a stand-alone sysdef from a linked set of fragments
+joinandparesysdef.xsl - Create a stand-alone sysdef from a linked set of fragments, paring down to just a set of items of the desired rank.
+
+Merging tools: 
+mergesysdef.xsl - Merge two 3.x syntax stand-alone system definitions. It can process two standalone sysdefs or two sysdef fragments which describe the same system model item.
+mergesysdef.bat - Call mergesysdef.xsl using xalan-j
+
+Other tools:
+sysdefdowngrade.xsl - Convert a 3.0.x sysdef to 2.0.1 sytnax
+sysdefdowngrade.bat - Call sysdefdowngrade.xsl using xalan-j
+rootsysdef.pl - Generate a root system definition from a template root sysdef and a set of wildcard paths to look for pkgdef files
+rootsysdef.bat - Call rootsysdef.pl
+
+Validation tools:
+checklinks.pl - Checks that all referenced files in a system definition exist at the specified locations. If there are any linked system definition fragments, it will recursively check them as well.
+checklinks.bat - call checklinks.pl
+validate-sysdef.xsl - Validate a sysdef file, reporting any errors as plain text
+validate-sysdef.bat - Call validate-sysdef.xsl using xalan-j
+
+Modules (in lib):
+filter-module.xsl - XSLT module which contains the logic to process the filter attribute in the system definition
+joinsysdef-module.xsl - XSLT module which contains the logic to join a system definition file
+mergesysdef-module.xsl - XSLT module for merging only two sysdef files according to the 3.0.0 rules
+test-model.xsl - XSLT module for validating sysdef files
+modelcheck.xsl - Validates a sysdef file, reporting any errors in HTM format. Can validate a sysdef in a web browser by using <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="modelcheck.xsl"?>
+
+
+XSLT Processing (in xalanj):
+xalan.jar
+xercesImpl.jar
+xml-apis.jar
+serializer.jar
