+Sqsh (pronounced skwish) is short for SQshelL (pronounced s-q-shell), it
+is intended as a replacement for the venerable 'isql' program supplied
+by Sybase. It came about due to years of frustration of trying to do
+real work with a program that was never meant to perform real work.
+
+Sqsh is much more than a nice prompt, it is intended to provide much of
+the functionality provided by a good shell, such as variables,
+redirection, pipes, back-grounding, job control, history, command
+completion, and dynamic configuration. Also, as a by-product of the
+design, it is remarkably easy to extend and add functionality.
+
+This package uses the Xaw frontend.
