+percol (interactive selection for UNIX pipes)
+
+An interactive grep tool in your terminal. Percol does the following:
+
+1. receives input lines from stdin or a file, 2. lists the input
+lines, 3. waits for your input that filters/selects the line(s),
+4. and finally outputs the selected line(s) to stdout.
+
+Since percol just filters the input and outputs the result to
+stdout, it can be used in command-chains with | in your shell (UNIX
+philosophy!).
+
+Package includes command completion for zsh, plus a /etc/percol.zsh
+script that adds extra functionality (see the comments at the top of
+the script for instructions on using it).
+
+There is no man page; run "percol --help" for a list of options, and
+read /usr/doc/percol-$VERSION/README.md for key bindings and examples.
