This is the README file for the Geners package. The main purpose of this package is serialization and deserialization of C++ objects to/from binary archives, with compression and random access to stored data. The INSTALL file describes a typical installation procedure for the package. Some minimal package documentation can be found in the "doc" directory (open file "index.html" in your web browser). The code in the "examples" directory illustrates typical package use in considerable detail.
