+Ruff! (Runtime function formatter) is a documentation generation system for
+programs written in the Tcl programming language. Ruff! is included with
+Woof! but can be used independently of it. Ruff! uses runtime introspection
+in conjunction with comment analysis to generate reference manuals for Tcl
+programs.
+
+In comparison with source code based documentation generators, Ruff!
+produces documentation that not only requires less effort from the
+programmer, but is also more complete, more accurate and more maintainable.
+
+Ruff! is covered by a liberal BSD open-source license that permits use for
+any purpose.
