+DjVu is a web-centric format and software platform for distributing
+documents and images. DjVu can advantageously replace PDF, PS, TIFF,
+JPEG, and GIF for distributing scanned documents, digital documents,
+or high-resolution pictures. DjVu content downloads faster, displays
+and renders faster, looks nicer on a screen, and consume less client
+resources than competing formats. DjVu images display instantly and can
+be smoothly zoomed and panned with no lengthy re-rendering. DjVu is used
+by hundreds of academic, commercial, governmental, and non-commercial
+web sites around the world.
+
+DjVuLibre includes a standalone viewer, a browser plug-in (for Mozilla,
+Firefox, Konqueror, Netscape, Galeon, and Opera), and command line tools
+(decoders, encoders, utilities). DjVuLibre works under Unix with X11.
+
+Requires xdg-utils (also available from SlackBuilds.org).
