From d16d904c572905c40906df713e2f538854d31b21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harald Welte Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:33:52 +0100 Subject: README.md: Remove old usage examples, refer to user manual instead We want people to use pySim-shell and should not mislead them by having usage examples of old tools in README.md. Also, all documentation should be in the manuals, let's try to have bits and pieces in various places.
