 This is a self-contained library for reading Windows Registry "hive"
 binary files.
 
-It is totally dedicated to reading the files and doesn't deal with
-writing or modifying them in any way.
-
 Unlike many other tools in this area, it doesn't use the textual .REG
 format for output, because parsing that is as much trouble as parsing
 the original binary format.  Instead it makes the file available

  . NTREG registry reader/writer library by Petter Nordahl-Hagen

 Like NTREG, this library only attempts to read Windows NT registry
 files (ie. not Windows 3.1 or Windows 95/98/ME).  See the link above
