+Cook is a tool for constructing files. It is given a set of files to
+create, and recipes of how to create them. In any non-trivial program
+there will be prerequisites to performing the actions necessary to
+creating any file, such as include files. Cook provides a mechanism to
+define these.
+
+When a program is being developed or maintained, the programmer will
+typically change one file of several which comprise the program. Cook
+examines the last-modified times of the files to see when the
+prerequisites of a file have changed, implying that the file needs to be
+recreated as it is logically out of date.
+
+Cook also provides a facility for implicit recipes, allowing users to
+specify how to form a file with a given suffix from a file with a
+different suffix. For example, to create filename.o from filename.c
