+    (description
+     "The name Pies (pronounced \"p-yes\") stands for Program Invocation
+and Execution Supervisor.  This utility starts and controls execution of
+external programs, called components.  Each component is a stand-alone
+program, which is executed in the foreground.  Upon startup, pies reads
+the list of components from its configuration file, starts them, and
+remains in the background, controlling their execution.  If any of the
+components terminates, the default action of Pies is to restart it.
+However, it can also be programmed to perform a variety of another
+actions such as, e.g., sending mail notifications to the system
+administrator, invoking another external program, etc.
+
+Pies can be used for a wide variety of tasks.  Its most obious use is to
+put in backgound a program which normally cannot detach itself from the
+controlling terminal, such as, e.g., minicom.  It can launch and control
+components of some complex system, such as Jabberd or MeTA1 (and it
+offers much more control over them than the native utilities).  Finally,
+it can replace the inetd utility!")
