These are as they were last used in the late 90's.  They need
a major rework to integrate with the existing web/ftp site.

The describe(8) utility shows current information on various programs.
Its information is contained in the describe database. The files
desc.src.shk and desc.db.shk each contain a copy of the most recently
released database.
These files were last modified %%DATE%%.
The file desc.src.shk contains the database "source" file, which is ASCII
and human-readable. The file desc.db.shk contains the precompiled version
of the database.
NOTE: You can only use this version of the precompiled database with
describe version 1.0.5 and later.
