Introduction:
-------------
Barry is an application suite for interfacing with the RIM BlackBerry
Handheld. It comes with command line tools for exploring and managing
the device, and a GUI for making quick backups. This project's goal
is to create an easy to use desktop experience and fully functional
syncing mechanism on Linux, BSD/Mac, and others, based on its
portable C++ library.

This is one of Net Direct Inc.'s (http://www.netdirect.ca/) open source
projects.

The SourceForge project page can be found at:
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/barry/

The documentation page can be found at:
	http://netdirect.ca/barry
	or
	http://barry.sourceforge.net/  (redirect)

The same documentation (and perhaps more up to date) can be found in the
doc/www/ directory.  If you have php CLI installed, run the static.sh
script to generate the HTML, then start reading at index.html.

Enjoy!
