+PWman (An NCurses password management program)
+
+PWMan is a password manager which uses gpg encryption to safeguard
+your data. It provides a simple and easy to use command line
+(NCurses) interface to manage, store, search and retrieve your
+passwords.
+
+The look and feel is based on Jaakko Heinonen's abook.
+
+BEFORE USING PWMAN
+
+While compilation does not directly require it, usage relies on
+Gnu Privacy Guard (gpg) being installed. You will need to specify
+a GnuPG ID the first time a user runs pwman, so this must be set up
+beforehand.
+
+There is more information on the gpg manpage, but you can probably
+just run:
+
+ % gpg --gen-key
+
+and follow the on-screen instructions.
