+Title:         SPLAT!
+Version:       1.3.0
+Entered-date:  11APR09
+Description:   SPLAT! is a terrestrial RF propagation analysis tool for
+               the spectrum between 20 MHz and 20 GHz.  SPLAT! provides
+               site engineering data such as the great circle distances
+               and bearings between sites, antenna elevation angles
+               (uptilt), depression angles (downtilt), antenna height
+               above mean sea level, antenna height above average
+               terrain, bearings and distances to known obstructions,
+               path loss, received power level, received power density,
+               and signal strength based on the Longley-Rice Irregular
+               Terrain Model, and minimum antenna height requirements
+               needed to establish first Fresnel zone clearance and
+               line-of-sight RF paths absent of obstructions due to
+               terrain.  SPLAT! produces reports, graphs, and highly
+               detailed and carefully annotated topographic maps
+               depicting line-of-sight paths, path loss, and expected
+               coverage areas of transmitters and repeater systems.
+               Applications of SPLAT! include site engineering, wireless
+               network design, amateur radio communications, frequency
+               coordination, communication system design, and terrestrial
+               radio and HDTV television broadcasting.  SPLAT! requires
+               gnuplot version 3.7, libbzip-1.0.1 or later, and zlib, as
+               well as an application capable of displaying PPM graphic
+               files (xv, ImageMagick, xpaint, The GIMP, etc.).
