 md5deep is a cross-platform set of programs to compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256,
 Tiger, or Whirlpool message digests on an arbitrary number of files. md5deep
 is similar to the md5sum program found in the GNU Coreutils package, but has
-the following additional features:
-* Recursive operation - md5deep is able to recursive examine an entire
-  directory tree. That is, compute the MD5 for every file in a directory and
-  for every file in every subdirectory.
-* Comparison mode - md5deep can accept a list of known hashes and compare them
-  to a set of input files. The program can display either those input files
-  that match the list of known hashes or those that do not match. Hashes sets
-  can be drawn from Encase, the National Software Reference Library, iLook
-  Investigator, Hashkeeper, md5sum, BSD md5, and other generic hash generating
-  programs. Users are welcome to add functionality to read other formats too!
-* Time estimation - md5deep can produce a time estimate when it's processing
-  very large files.
-* Piecewise hashing - Hash input files in arbitrary sized blocks
-* File type mode - md5deep can process only files of a certain type, such as
-  regular files, block devices, etc.
