-GNATS is the GNU Problem Report Management System.
-
-GNATS is a problem tracking system written to help report on, and track,
-problem reports or bugs. GNATS is currently in use at Cygnus to help track
-all incoming bug reports. There are many concepts or approaches to GNATS
-which are only useful to organizations which track bugs related by
-customers as well as by bug type.
+GNATS was designed as a tool for software maintainers. It consists of several
+utilities which, when used in concert, formulate and administer a database of
+Problem Reports grouped by site-defined problem categories. It allows a
+support organization to keep track of problems (hence the term Problem Report)
+in an organized fashion. Essentially, GNATS acts as an active archive for
+field-separated textual data.
