+# 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 ':'.

+qtoctave:
+qtoctave: QtOctave is a graphical user interface for gnu octave, which is an
+qtoctave: open source program alternative to Matlab. With QtOctave you can do
+qtoctave: perform computationally intensive mathematical tasks that would take
+qtoctave: much longer to code in C or C++ or practically any other modern
+qtoctave: computer language. It is especailly good at matrix and vector
+qtoctave: operations. The graphical capabilities are very advanced. It is
+qtoctave: used heavily in engineering, and is a tool well worth learning.
