+  This package contains a set of utilities for gEDA (GNU Electronic
+Design Automation).  Currently there are several utilities:
+
+  * gmk_sym is a simple utility to convert comma separated
+    descriptions into rectangular gschem symbols. It should be useful
+    for easily creating memory, processors or connector style parts.
+
+  * smash_megafile is a C program that will take a ViewLogic megafile
+    and extract the contents into a directory of the same name, with
+    one file representing each element in the library.
+
+  * convert_sym takes ViewLogic Viewdraw schematic or symbol and
+    outputs a gschem compatible file.  This utility should be
+    considered a work in progress.
+
+  * gpstoimage is a simple bourne shell script which shows how to
+    take the postscript generated by gschem and convert it into an
+    image (such as a gif or whatever).
