+Search and replace python regular expressions within many files interactively
+
+(C) Martin Väth (martin at mvath.de).
+This project is under the MIT license
+
+The aim of the project is to replace regular expressions interactively
+in a collection of files.
+
+Its functionality is similar to the perl script `plrep` from
+https://github.com/vaeth/mv_perl/
+as well as to the ancient python script
+https://github.com/vaeth/pyrep/
+In a sense, it can be considered a successor of both projects,
+also properly dealing with replacements of expressions over multiple lines.
+(In the previous projects, multiple lines had only been rudimentarily
+implemented or not at all, respectively.)
+
+To install this script, just copy the content of bin/ into your `$PATH`.
+To get zsh completion, copy the content of zsh/ to your zsh's `$fpath`,
+perhaps `/usr/share/zsh/site-functions/`.
+
+For Gentoo, there is an ebuild in the `mv` repository
+(available by `app-select/eselect-repository` or `app-portage/layman`).
