+SUMMARY="Set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics"
+DESCRIPTION="Fig2dev is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with \
+graphics which are portable, in the sense that they can be printed in a wide \
+variety of environments.
+
+Fig2dev consists of the fig2dev and the transfig commands.  The fig2dev
+command translates Fig code to other graphic description languages.  The
+transfig command generates transfig.tex, a macro file for \input in a
+TeX document, and a Makefile which translates Fig code to various
+graphics description languages using the fig2dev program."
