+# README #
+
+This is a utility to display information about an OAR.
+
+At the moment, it just prints the number of contained assets and the number of contained objects.
+
+In the future, it could do more sophisticated stuff like sanity check an OAR to see that all references (e.g. textures
+referred to by objects) are present, though this is quite a lot of work so might not happen soon.
+
+Patches welcome.
