+      PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It is
+      a Free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS.
+
+      PSPP can perform descriptive statistics, T-tests, anova, linear
+      and logistic regression, cluster analysis, factor analysis,
+      non-parametric tests and more. Its backend is designed to perform
+      its analyses as fast as possible, regardless of the size of the
+      input data. You can use PSPP with its graphical interface or the
+      more traditional syntax commands.
