+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+rpm: RPM is a tool from Red Hat Software used to install and remove
+rpm: packages in the .rpm format. When installing RPM packages on
+rpm: Slackware, you may need to use the --nodeps and --force options.
+rpm: Before installing any binary package, it's wise to examine it to
+rpm: see what it's going to do, and if it will overwrite any files. You
+rpm: can use rpm2tgz to convert .rpm packages to .tgz packages so you
+rpm: can look them over.
