+Bio++ is a set of C++ libraries for Bioinformatics, including sequence
+analysis, phylogenetics, molecular evolution and population genetics.
+Bio++ is Object Oriented and is designed to be both easy to use and
+computer efficient. Bio++ intends to help programmers to write
+computer expensive programs, by providing them a set of re-usable
+tools.
+
+This contains the Bio++ 1.9 (April 2010) Utils Library. It can be
+installed along the current Bio++ suite libraries, however they better
+not be present at compile time.

+# 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.
