+This module is a first crack at providing a consistent interface to
+Unix (and maybe other multitasking OS's) process table information.
+
+This is mainly for other Perl programs, but there is also a command
+line tool pswait which takes a list of process IDs or names and then
+waits for one or all of them to end. This is useful for scripts
+dealing with process pools or concurrent pipelines.
