 # jfmt-wrapper.sh - - canonically format a JSON file
 #
 # We form a wrapper for the jfmt(1), a tool that will format a JSON
-# file into a canonical style.  NOTE: As of 2024 July 28 the jfmt(1)
-# tool has not been written, so jfmt-wrapper.sh uses the JSONPath.sh(1)
-# tool from the recently forked and modified JSONPath.sh tool:
-#
-#   https://github.com/lcn2/JSONPath.sh
-#
-# If the JSON file is already on canonical form, the file is not modified.
+# file into a canonical style.
