+    (description
+     "This package provides a small package that makes LaTeX default to
+standard PostScript fonts.  It is basically a merger of the @code{times} and
+the (obsolete) @code{mathptm} packages from the @code{psnfss} suite.  You must
+have installed standard LaTeX and the @code{psnfss} PostScript fonts to use
+this package.  The main novel feature is that the @code{pslatex} package tries
+to compensate for the visual differences between the Adobe fonts by scaling
+Helvetica by 90%, and condensing Courier (i.e.  scaling horizontally) by 85%.
+The package is supplied with a (unix) shell file for a @command{pslatex}
+command that allows standard LaTeX documents to be processed, without needing
+to edit the file.  Note that current @code{psnfss} uses a different technique
+for scaling Helvetica, and treats Courier as a lost cause (there are better
+free fixed-width available now, than there were when @code{pslatex} was
+designed).  As a result, @code{pslatex} is widely considered obsolete.")
