+Summary: Aewan is a multi-layered ascii-art/animation editor that produces
+both stand-alone cat-able art files and an easy-to-parse format for integration
+in your terminal applications. It is primarily designed for Linux, although it
+currently also compiles under FreeBSD and possibly other *NIX systems.
+
+More details: Aewan is a curses-based program that allows for the creation and
+editing of ascii art. The user is able to move the cursor around the screen by
+means of the arrow keys and 'paint' characters by pressing the corresponding
+keys. There are dialog boxes that allow the user to choose foreground and
+background colors, as well as bold and blink attributes. The user may also
+select rectangular areas of the canvas in order to move, copy and paste them.
+Aewan also supports 'intelligent' horizontal and vertical flipping (e.g.
+converts '\' to '/', etc).
+
+What sets Aewan apart from similar projects is the fact that it can work with
+multiple layers, and has the ability to turn transparency and visibility on and
+off for each layer. A layer dialog is provided through which the user can
+change the order of the layers. Thus, each layer can be edited independently in
+order to generate a composite drawing. Instead of using the layers for
+compositing, it is also possible to use the layers as frames for an animation,
+thus enabling the user to create ascii animations with Aewan.
+
+Aewan can export animations to a "less movie", that is, a regular file that
+will show the animation when when paged through in the 'less' pager or similar
+program (even Notepad will work if you don't need color). It can also export a
+shellscript which will play the animation on the terminal when executed.
+
+The file format is easy to parse, so it is easy to write a terminal-based
+application that uses the Aewan files to display onscreen. Currently it has
+been tested on the Linux terminal, rxvt, xterm, the Cygwin terminal and the
+FreeBSD console.

+# 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 ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
