+
+Converts a CSV data file exported from REDCap into the NACC's UDS3 fixed-width
+format.
+
+FILES
+-----
+
+This is not exhaustive, but here is an explanation of some important files.
+
+nacc/:
+	Top-level Python package for all things NACC.
+
+nacc/redcap2nacc.py:
+	converts a CSV data file exported from REDCap into NACC's UDS3 fixed-width
+	format
+
+nacc/uds3/blanks.py:
+	specialized library for "Blanking Rules"
+
+nacc/uds3/ivp/forms.py:
+	UDS3 IVP forms represented as Python classes
+
+tools/generator.py:
+	generates Python objects based on NACC Data Element Dictionaries in CSV
+
+
+HOWTO Convert from REDCap to NACC
+---------------------------------
+
+	$ pip install nacculator
+	$ redcap2nacc < data.csv > data.nacc
+
+Manually:
+	$ PYTHONPATH=. ./nacc/redcap2nacc.py data.csv > data.nacc
+
+Note: output is written to STDOUT; errors are written to STDERR; input can be
+      STDIN or the first argument passed to redcap2nacc.
+
+HOWTO Generate New Forms
+------------------------
+
+Note: executing generator.py from within tools is an important step as the
+	  script assumes any corrected DEDs are stored under a folder in the
+	  current working directory called 'corrected'.
+
+Warning: read the warnings in the current ../nacc/uds3/ivp/forms.py first.
+
+	$ cd tools
+	$ PYTHONPATH=.. ./generator.py uds3/ded/csv/ > ../nacc/uds3/ivp/forms.py
+	$ edit ../nacc/uds3/ivp/forms
