+     "This package provides simulation methods for the evolution of antibody repertoires.
+  The heavy and light chain variable region of both human and C57BL/6 mice can
+be simulated in a time-dependent fashion.  Both single lineages using one set of
+V-, D-, and J-genes or full repertoires can be simulated.  The algorithm begins
+with an initial V-D-J recombination event, starting the first phylogenetic tree.
+  Upon completion, the main loop of the algorithm begins, with each iteration
+representing one simulated time step.  Various mutation events are possible at
+each time step, contributing to a diverse final repertoire.")
