     (description
-     "GNU Cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. The
-archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe.
-
-GNU Cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new
-ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar, and POSIX.1 tar. The
-tar format is provided for compatability with the tar program. By
-default, cpio creates binary format archives, for compatibility with
-older cpio programs. When extracting from archives, cpio automatically
-recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives
-created on machines with a different byte-order.")
+     "Cpio copies files into or out of cpio or tar archives.  In fact, many
+formats are supported, including legacy formats.  The format is determined
+automatically by the program and is handled appropriately. Furthermore, the
+location of the archive is not important.  It can be another file on the
+drive, a tape, or data on a pipe.")
