#
# About this file
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# This file is in human readable form, but is intended to be compiled with
# the program 'descc' into the 'describe' database. Just type 'descc
# <filename>', where <filename> is the name you saved this file to, and
# descc will compile the file into the file /usr/lib/describe.db, or
# alternatively into a file named 'describe' in the path given by the
# environment variable DESCDB. Make sure the path that DESCDB points to
# or /usr/lib exist first! Information may be later culled from the
# file with the command 'describe <utility>'.
#
# While this file may be updated manually, it is recommended that new
# entries and updates be merged through the use of 'descu'. This will
# ensure that the file remains sorted. Failure to do so may result in
# describe(1) not finding some entries.
#
# This file is sorted lexicographically, ignoring case, based on the
# "Name" field.
#
# Online home of describe
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# The newest version of this file may be found at:
#
# ftp://ftp.gno.org/pub/apple2/gs.specific/gno/doc/desc.src.shk
#
# The describe web page may be found at:
#
# http://www.gno.org/gno/describe
#
# This page has:
# - links to the current version of describe, descu, and descc
# - links to the current version of this database, in both source
# form (this file), and the precompiled database
# - indexed online describe entries
# - instructions on how to submit new and updated entries.
#
# Updates and corrections may also be sent by email to:
#
# describe-submit@trenco.gno.org
#
# This address points to a filter. If you use it, you *must* ensure the
# following:
#
# - the subject line contains the word "describe";
# - you include only describe entries, in the format used in this
# file;
# - if you have a signature attached to your email, it must be
# preceeded by the standard "--" on a line by itself;
# - only ASCII mail is accepted. Don't try sending encoded mail,
# by MIME or other means;
# - all field names should be at the immediate start of a line;
# - the "Name" field must be a single word;
# - the "Where" field must be specified;
# - the description must be non-empty;
#
# If your submission was successful, you will receive an email response
# (assuming your email address is real).
#
# To obtain the version number of a program:
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# A) use the shell program `getvers',
# B) any usage or -v/V flag supplied by the utility author
#
#
# NOTES:
# 1. The "Author" field may indicate who is maintaing the current
# port, and may not actually mean the original author of the
# program.
# 2. There may be more than one port of a given program. Often the
# older or obsolete ports are not listed.
