+New Handling for Yaffs Core Code in Yaffs Direct
+
+In the past, the Yaffs core code was joined into the Yaffs direct code by
+means of symbolic links. This had to be changed when some Linux
+kernel-friendly changes were made.
+
+Now, the Yaffs core code needs to be slightly modified before use in Yaffs
+Direct. This is accomplished by a script that copies the code intto the
+Yaffs Direct "workspace" while using sed to modify some of the function
+names etc. For example, strlen() is changed to yaffs_strlen() to allow these
+functions to be twaeked for use with unicode.
+
+This is accomplished by the script called handle_common.sh.
+
+cd yaffs2/direct
+./handle_common.sh copy
