+&h1(RMR Configuration and Delpoyment)
+
+The RIC Message Router (RMR) is a library which applications use to send and receive
+messages where the message routing, endpoint selection, is based on the message type
+rather than on traditional DNS names or IP addresses.
+This document contains information regarding the configuration of RMR when it is
+embedded by a &ital(user application).
+RMR itself is not a deployable entity.
+
+&h2(Configuration)
+Several aspects of RMR behaviour is controlled via environment variables which are
+set at the time that a user application invokes the RMR initialisation function.
+This allows these variables to be set before the application is started as a
+function of the true environment, or set by the application as a means for the
+application to influence RMR's behaviour.
+The following is a list of RMR variables which RMR recognises (see the main
+RMR manual page in the development package for more details).
+
