+# 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.

+nco: The NCO toolkit manipulates and analyzes data stored in netCDF-
+nco: accessible formats, including DAP, HDF4, and HDF5. It exploits the
+nco: geophysical expressivity of many CF (Climate & Forecast) metadata
+nco: conventions, the flexible description of physical dimensions
+nco: translated by UDUnits, the network transparency of OPeNDAP, the
+nco: storage features (e.g., compression, chunking, groups) of HDF (the
+nco: Hierarchical Data Format), and many powerful mathematical and
+nco: statistical algorithms of GSL (the GNU Scientific Library).
