+Scala is a functional object-oriented programming language
+compiling to JVM byte code.
+
+This is a binary repackaging of the distribution from the Scala home-page.
+It sets SCALA_HOME=/usr/lib/scala, MANPATH to include /usr/lib/scala/man,
+and PATH to include /usr/lib/scala/bin.
+
+The installation is like Java Runtime/SDK, in that it places everything by
+default in /usr/lib/scala - including manpages and documentation.
+
+The lib directory is set dependent upon the package architecture:
+/usr/lib on x86 and /usr/lib64 on x86_64.
