I know we all just copy and paste this stuff, but try to see it from the user's perspective. What do I want to know? What is this package, what can it be used for. I do not care about the history, other operating systems, or the author's love for kittens. All but the first line of that description is useless fluff and can be removed. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
