+* TITLE	startCArepeater.c - start up the Channel Access repeater task
+*
+* DESCRIPTION
+*	This program exists to avoid having the UNIX Channel Access
+*	repeater process masquerade as the process which caused it to
+*	be created.  For example, if AR is the first Channel Access client
+*	started after booting the workstation, then there will exist the
+*	"real" AR process as well as the CA repeater process whose name
+*	would also be "AR", since it is produced via a fork.
+*
+*	To avoid this problem, the script which starts AR first runs this
+*	program.  Other programs which care could adopt the same strategy.
