+# 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 ':'.

+ash: ash (Kenneth Almquist's ash shell)
+ash:
+ash: A lightweight (92K) Bourne compatible shell. Great for machines with
+ash: low memory, but does not provide all the extras of shells like bash,
+ash: tcsh, and zsh. Runs most shell scripts compatible with the Bourne
+ash: shell. Note that under Linux, most scripts seem to use at least some
+ash: bash-specific syntax. The Slackware setup scripts are a notable
+ash: exception, since ash is the shell used on the install disks. NetBSD
+ash: uses ash as its /bin/sh.
