+EET is a tiny library designed to write an arbitary set of chunks of data to a file
+and optionally compress each chunk (very much like a zip file) and allow fast
+random-access reading of the file later on. It does not do zip as a zip itself has
+more complexity than is needed, and it was much simpler to impliment this once here.
+
+Eet is extremely fast, small and simple. Eet files can be very small and highly
+compressed, making them very optimal for just sending across the internet without
+having to archive, compress or decompress and install them. They allow for
+lightning-fast random-acess reads once created, making them perfect for storing data
+that is written once (or rarely) and read many times, but the program does not want
+to have to read it all in at once.
+
+It also can encode and decode data structures in memory, as well as image data for
+saving to Eet files or sending across the network to other machines, or just writing
+to arbitary files on the system. All data is encoded in a platform independant way
+and can be written and read by any architecture.
