.SH* DESCRIPTION
-\*(TX is a language oriented toward processing text from files or streams,

-It is a combination of two programming languages: an text scanning

+\*(TX is a programming language supporting multiple paradigms.
+It in fact comprises two languages integrated into a single tool: a text
+scanning and extraction language referred to as the \*(TX pattern language, or

called \*(TL.
