+The Pound program is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-
+end for Web server(s). Pound was developed to enable distributing the
+the load among several Web-servers supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP
+data objects, and to allow for a convenient SSL wrapper for those web
+servers that do not offer it natively. Pound is distributed under
+the GPL license.
+
+Be sure to see the README.SLACKWARE file in this directory before
+using pound (it's also installed into the standard documentation
+directory by the build script).
