+-- This ert configuration file is an example which can be used to check that your
+-- local ert installation is basically sane. This example is not meant to be used
+-- as an automatically run integration test, rather it is meant to be tested
+-- interactively.
+-- 
+-- The example is based on the ECLIPSE100 forward model, that implies that you must
+-- configure the local eclipse related details corresponding to your site[1].
+-- 
+-- NB: the current case has *not* been carefully constructed to demonstrate the
+-- capabilities of ert; from a model updating perspective the current case is
+-- totally uninteresting.
+-- 
+-- [1]: This amounts to editing the file ecl_config.yml in the res.fm.ecl python
+-- package from the libres installation. See the documentation in the
+-- ecl_config.yml example file supplied with the libres distribution, or
+-- alternatively the "Post install configuration" section in the libres README.
