+BSFlite is a rather small and minimalist client for AOL's Instant
+Messenger(TM) service. Instead of having a full screen console
+interface, BSFlite employs a command line interface that allows your
+fingers to do all of the work without needlessly sifting through
+windows.

+# 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 ':'.
