+Coding Style
+------------
+
+Before you submit your applet for inclusion in BusyBox, (or better yet, before
+you _write_ your applet) please read through the style guide in the docs
+directory and make your program compliant.
+
+
+Some Words on libbb
+-------------------
+
 As you are writing your applet, please be aware of the body of pre-existing
-useful functions in utility.c. Use these instead of reinventing the wheel.
+useful functions in libbb. Use these instead of reinventing the wheel.
+
 Additionally, if you have any useful, general-purpose functions in your
 program that could be useful in another program, consider putting them in
-utility.c.

-Furthermore, please read through the style guide in the docs directory and
-make your program compliant.

 Usage String(s)
 ---------------
 
-Next, add usage information for you applet to usage.c. This should look like
+Next, add usage information for you applet to usage.h. This should look like
 the following:

-       const char mu_usage[] =
-               "mu\n"
-       #ifndef BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP

 If your program supports flags, the flags should be mentioned on the first
-line (mu -[bcRovma]) and a detailed description of each flag should go in the
-BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP section, one flag per line. (Numerous examples of this
-currently exist in utility.c.)
