+About GRASS GIS
+
+The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred
+to as GRASS, is an Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS)
+providing powerful raster, vector, and geospatial processing engines
+in a single integrated software suite. GRASS includes tools for spatial
+modeling, visualization of raster and vector data, management
+and analysis of geospatial data, and the processing of satellite
+and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to produce
+sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS has
+now been translated into twenty languages and supports a huge array
+of data formats.
