+ns_xmlrpc -- 	adds XML-RPC server and client features to
+		AOLserver/OpenACS
+
+Requirements: 	ns_xml 1.3
+		AOLserver 3. using nsd8x
+		OpenACS 3.2.5 
+
+Setup:	Copy the Tcl files into your private Tcl library, ie. /web/yoursite/tcl
+	and start/restart AOLserver
+
+	To test the server go to http://validator.xmlrpc.com. Enter the 
+	domain of your server and click the validate button. Hopefully
+	everything works. If it doesn't, check your server error log.
+
+	Call xmlrpc_register_proc with the procedure name for every Tcl
+	procedure you want to be made available via XML-RPC.
+
+How it works: 	A registered proc is setup in validator.tcl that sends all
+		HTTP requests to /RPC2 to the XML-RPC handler. It checks to 
+		make sure the methodName is registered as available via 
+		XML-RPC. If the methodName is valid the XML-RPC request is
+		parsed and the parameters are passed to the procedure.
+
+		The procedure does whatever processing is necessary and returns
+		a result to the XML-RPC handler which builds an XML-RPC
+		methodResponse and returns it.
+
+Credits:	Ns_xml conversion by Dave Bauer (dave@thedesignexperience.org)
+		with help from Jerry Asher (jerry@theashergroup.com). 
+		This code is based on the original Tcl-RPC by Steve Ball
+		with contributions by Aaron Swartz. The original Tcl-RPC
+		uses TclXML and TclDOM to parse the XML. It works fine but
+		since OpenACS-4 will use ns_xml I converted it.
