+HOMEPAGE = "http://netcat.sourceforge.net"
+DESCRIPTION = "A simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network \
+connections using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable \
+'back-end' tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other \
+programs and scripts. At the same time it is a feature-rich network \
+debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of \
+connection you would need and has several interesting built-in \
+capabilities."
