+<h2><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
+<p>This antlib provides an interface to the
+<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/ssafe/default.asp" target="_top">Microsoft Visual SourceSafe</a> SCM.
+The original tasks (<code>org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.vss</code>) have been expanded upon in this antlib.
+Some fixes to issues in the original tasks have also been incorporated.</p>
+<p>
+If you get a CreateProcesss IOError=2 when running these, it means
+that ss.exe was not found. Check to see if you can run it from the
+command line -you may need to alter your path, or set the <tt>ssdir</tt>
+property.</p>
+<p>
+To use this antlib in your build file, you must first declare it eg:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+&lt;project name="myproject" basedir="." 
+         default="test" xmlns:vss="antlib:org.apache.ant.vss"&gt;
+</pre>
