Very Brief Synopsys
-------------------

Xortoth is the 3-tier back-end for the Chemical Resource Kit. It consists
of several PHP4 pages (PHP is a web scripting language generally used as a
plugin to Apache, to construct simple webservices), and a MySQL database
layout (and in case you've been living in a cave, MySQL is a very popular
database for these sorts of applications).

The other elements of the Chemical Resource Kit can be used with local
files, which makes Xortoth optional, but there are certain advantages
to implementing a centralised three-tier repository.
