-#NOTES
-#     - To remove modules from the build, delete or comment out the
-#       module name.
+#RELEASE Location of external products
+#
+# IF YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES to this file you MUST at least run
+# "gnumake" in this directory afterwards; you usually need
+# to run "gnumake rebuild" in the application's top level
+# directory each time this file is changed.
+#
+# NOTE: The build does not check dependencies against files
+# that are outside this application, thus you should run
+# "gnumake distclean install" in the top directory each time
+# EPICS_BASE, SNCSEQ, or any other external module defined
+# in the RELEASE file is rebuilt.
+#
+# Host/target specific settings can be specified in files named
+#  RELEASE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH).Common
+#  RELEASE.Common.$(T_A)
+#  RELEASE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH).$(T_A)
