    This build fetches (with git) approximately 200 Mb/7,800 files of
       kent source code, and constructs command binaries of approximately 120 Mb.
 
 3. Install utilities
    The binaries are built into userApps/bin/
    To install them in a global bin/ directory, copy them
    to desired location:
       sudo rsync -a -P bin/ /usr/local/bin/userApps/
 
    The destination bin/userApps/ should be its own unique directory
    to avoid overwriting same-named binaries in a standard bin/ directory.
 
    Users add '/usr/local/bin/userApps' to their shell PATH
    to access the commands.
 
+
+4. There are 'parasol' binaries built in kent/src/parasol/bin/
+   Use these binaries to set up a job control system on a compute cluster
+   or large machine with many CPU cores.  See also:
+     http://genecats.cse.ucsc.edu/eng/parasol.htm
+   for more information.  The usage messages from each command will help
+   with the setup.
+
+=========
+
+Documentation:
+
+Each 'kent' command contains its own documentation.  Simply run the
+commands without any arguments to see the usage message for operating
+instructions.

 Installing required packages:
 
 On a MacOS system, you will need the XCode system installed:
    https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
 And the Mac Ports install system:
    http://www.macports.org/
 With the mac ports and XCode systems installed, you can install
 the additional packages required (and helpful):
   sudo port install git-core gnutls rsync libpng mysql55 openssl curl wget
 
 On a typical Linux system, for example Ubuntu, use the apt-get command
 to install additional packages:
    sudo apt-get install git libssl-dev openssl mysql-client-5.1 \
