 ====
 
 Interpreter for jawk, an awk-like data proccessing language with JavaScript syntax.
+
+Dedication
+----------
+
+jawk is dedicated to [Paul Inman](http://blogs.popart.com/author/paulinman), a gentleman and a scholar and,
+most importantly, a lover of [awk](http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html).
+
+What jawk Isn't
+---------------
+
+jawk is not a drop-in replacement for awk; what would be the point of that?  Instead, jawk takes the basic
+concept of awk (a terse, data-driven language), and implements that with JavaScript syntax.  If you use
+JavavScript every day (and if you work in the web world, you probably do), and you love awk, and you're tired
+of remembering a million syntactic idiosyncracies, well, awk just might be for you.
+
