+DESCRIPTION
+	gd is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly draw images
+	complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from
+	other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a .GIF file.
+	This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where .GIF
+	is the format used for inline images. 
+
+	gd is not a paint program. If you are looking for a paint program, try 
+	xpaint by David Koblas, available by anonymous FTP from ftp.netcom.com
+	in pub/ko/koblas. (That package is for the X Window System; for the Mac
+	and the PC, paint programs are considerably easier to find.) 
+
+	gd does not provide for every possible desirable graphics operation. It
+	is not necessary or desirable for gd to become a kitchen-sink graphics
+	package, but version 1.2 incorporates most of the commonly requested 
+	features for a 2D package. 
+AUTHOR
+	gd 1.2 was written by Thomas Boutell and is currently distributed by 
+	boutell.com, Inc.
