-This 'hpcdtoppm' directory is really just a placeholder for the real
-Hpcdtoppm source code.  
+The 'hpcdtoppm' code in this directory is just a dummy version of the program
+that tells you where to get the real code.
 
-The real Hpcdtoppm source code cannot be distributed on Sourceforge
-because a copyright holder does not license it in a way open enough to
-meet Sourceforge's requirements.
