+<h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
+
+<p>The Boost Chrono library provides an implementation of the C++0x Standard
+Library's new time utilities and compile-time rational arithmetic. The
+implementation will work with most C++03 conforming compilers.</p>
+
+<h2><a name="Examples">Examples</a></h2>
+<ul>
+ <li>await_keystroke.cpp - A tiny
+ program that times how long until a key is struck.</li>
+ <li>time2_demo.cpp - Howard Hinnant's
+ original demonstration program.</li>
+</ul>
+<h2><a name="Reference">Reference</a> material</h2>
+<p>The most authoritative reference material for the library is the C++
+Standards Committee's current Working Paper (WP). Found on the
+WG21 web site in the
+mailings section.</p>
+<p>See sections:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>20.9 Time utilities [time]</li>
+ <li>20.4 Compile-time rational arithmetic [ratio]</li>
+ <li>20.6.7 Other transformations [meta.trans.other]</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The C++ Standards Committee proposal for the library,
+<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2661.htm">
+N2661 - A Foundation to Sleep On</a>, is very informative and provides
+motivation for key design decisions.</p>
+<h2><a name="Acknowledgements">Acknowledgements</a></h2>
+<p>The library's code was derived from Howard Hinnant's
+time2_demo prototype. Many thanks to Howard for
+making his code available under the Boost license. The original code was
+modified by Beman Dawes to conform to Boost conventions.</p>
+<p>time2_demo contained this comment:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>Much thanks to Andrei Alexandrescu, Walter Brown, Peter Dimov, Jeff Garland,
+Terry Golubiewski, Daniel Krügler, Anthony Williams.</p>
