+# 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 ':'.

+itcl: itcl (object-oriented programming contructs to Tcl)
+itcl:
+itcl: [incr Tcl] provides the extra language support needed to build large
+itcl: Tcl/Tk applications. It introduces the notion of objects, which act as
+itcl: building blocks for an application. Each object is a bag of data with
+itcl: a set of procedures or "methods" that are used to manipulate it.
+itcl: Objects are organized into "classes" with identical characteristics,
+itcl: and classes can inherit functionality from one another. This
+itcl: object-oriented paradigm adds another level of organization on top of
+itcl: the basic variable/procedure elements, and the resulting code is
+itcl: easier to understand and maintain.
