+.SH NAME
+hb \- Simple Budget Management Program
+
+.SH STARTING HB
+\'hb.py\' or \'python hb.py\' starts the program.  There are
+no command line arguments.
+
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+hb is a python program for managing simple budgets.  As budget
+management programs go, hb is rather modest, though it does do some
+rather useful things.  However, people learning python will
+(hopefully) find it quite useful as an example of a complete python
+program which uses many of the data structures and idioms of the
+language.
+
+Detailed documentation can be found in the program distribution in a
+set of files beginning with #- and ending in .txt.  If hb has been
+installed on FreeBSD using the ports system, all the hb documentation
+and default budget file can be found in /usr/local/share/doc/hb.
+
+
+.SH CONFIGURING HB
+Before you start hb, you need to set the default directory and budget
+file name found at the beginning of the program.  Also, if you want
+to run it directly without having to invoke python explicitly, make
+sure the first line of the program correctly points to the location of
+the python interpreter.  Also insure that hb.py permissions are set to
+755.
+
+.SH BUGS \& MISFEATURES
+None known as of this release. hb is written in 'python' and has been
+used on both FreeBSD and Windows 2000 installations.  If you are using
+something else that supports 'python', give it a whirl.
+
+
+.SH COPYRIGHT
+hb is Copyright(c) 2001, TundraWare Inc.  For terms of use, see the
+HB-License.txt file in the program distribution.  If you install hb on
+a FreeBSD system using the 'ports' mechanism, you will also find this
+file in /usr/local/share/doc/hb.
