It may turn out that a different way of -organizing all this would be better. We'll see. +In addition -- and this is significant -- there is a set of driver +scripts in the `bin` directory of this repository, which run the +executables in these containers almost as if you had the executable +installed on the host. + +Each driver script will download any image it needs from Docker hub +first, if it is not yet present on the system. + +So all you need to do is put `bin` on your executable search path, +and suddenly you have a myriad of Cat's Eye Technologies' tools and +language interpreters and such at your disposal, right from your +command line (or shell, or Terminal, or whatever you like to call it.) + +There are some caveats of course. See the README of the +[containerized-hastec][] project for more information on this approach.
