 # rle
 
-Under construction!
+A simple run-length encoder/decoder  
+Created in 2024 by anson.
+
+This program uses a lossless [run-length encoding algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding)
+to compress ASCII files. There hasn't been any
+extensive testing with binary or other data files.
+For best results, use ASCII files with long runs of
+characters, but `rle` will not inflate any file to more
+than its original size.
 
 Usage and options can be read by invoking `rle --help` at the
 command line. This project is licensed under the MIT License, See
