+drawterm -- utility for connecting to Plan 9 and 9front systems.
+
+Drawterm is a program which attempts to emulate various portions of
+a 9front kernel and summarily connect to a 9front cpu and auth
+server. 9front's fork of drawterm adds support for 9front's refined
+authentication protocol, but can authenticate with less secure
+Plan 9 systems using p9sk1.

+# 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.
