+This file explains how to build a valid cocl that reads
+Clean 1.3 sources and as a sideeffect produces sources
+in which the explicit import statements have been
+ported to 2.0 syntax ("coclPort" application)
+
+The module portToNewSyntax appears twice: in the "compiler"
+folder and in the "portToNewSyntax" folder. Iff you want
+to build coclPort then set the paths in such a way that
+the portToNewSyntax.dcl/icl files from the portToNewSyntax
+folder are preferred over the same files in the compiler
+folder.
+
+Further set the "switch_import_syntax" macro in module
+syntax to "one_point_three"
+
+The "switch_port_to_new_syntax" macro in module
+portToNewSyntax is used to ed/disable the porting
+facilities:
+portToNewSyntax/portToNewSyntax.dcl: port
+compiler/portToNewSyntax.dcl: dont_port
