+AfterStep is a window manager for the Unix X Window System.
+Originally based on the look and feel of the NeXTStep interface, it 
+provides end users with a consistent, clean, and elegant desktop. The 
+goal of AfterStep development is to provide for flexibility of desktop 
+configuration, improving aestetics, and efficient use of system resources.
+Some of the distinguishing features of AfterStep compared to other window 
+managers are its low usage of resources, stability, and configurability.

+# 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 ':'.
