+    (description
+     "The package enables the user to draw (using PSTricks) the diffraction
+patterns for different geometric forms of apertures for monochromatic light.
+The aperture stops can have rectangular, circular or triangular openings.  The
+view of the diffraction may be planar, or three-dimensional.  Options
+available are the dimensions of the aperture under consideration and of the
+particular optical setting, e.g., the radius in case of an circular opening.
+Moreover one can choose the wavelength of the light (the associated color will
+be calculated by the package).")
