+CUSTOM ERROR README.txt
+=======================
 
-Description
------------
-This module allows the site admin to create custom error pages for
-404 (not found), and 403 (access denied).
-
-Since the error pages are not real nodes, they do not belong a category
-term, and hence will not show up in node listings.
-
-It also allows the site admin to setup redirects for 404s. For example
-if you had a page called foo and a page called xyz, then you moved them
-to a page called bar, and abc respectively, you can setup a redirect pair
-of:
-
-  ^foo$ bar
-  ^xyz$ abc
-
-Users trying to access example.com/foo will be transparently redirected
-to example.com/bar.

+It also allows the site admin to setup static redirects for 404s. For
+example if you had a page called foo and a page called xyz, then you
+moved them to a page called bar, and abc respectively, you can setup a
+redirect pair of:
+
+  ^foo$ bar
+  ^xyz$ abc
+
+The first pair will transparently redirect users trying to access
+example.com/foo to example.com/bar.  The first pair will transparently
+redirect users trying to access example.com/xyz to example.com/abc.
+
+You can have multiple pairs of redirects. Each must be on a line by
+itself.
+
+Note that the first string is a regexp, and the second string is a
+path. You have to use a single space between them.  You cannot use
+variables.  For more flexible URL rewriting, including variables, you
+may consider using an external URL rewrite engine, such as Apache
+mod_rewrite.

 option to login then redirect them to what they were after.
