+Introduction
+============
+
+'libmpq' is a library which can be easily used in own applications
+to extract, create or manipulate MoPaQ mpq archives.
+
+MPQ, or MoPaQ, is a proprietary archive format created by
+Mike O'Brien, the man hailed as Blizzard's multiplayer engine
+genius, back in 1996 as a general purpose archive for use with
+Diablo, and named narcissistically for its creator
+"Mike O'brien PaCK". The copyrights to it, however, are held by
+Havas Interactive, Blizzard's parent company. The archive format
+is used by many Blizzard titles like Diablo, Diablo 2, Starcraft,
+Warcraft 2: BNE, a newer version in Warcraft 3 and World of
+Warcraft (WoW).
+
+Manual
+======
+
+Since version 0.4.0 the 'libmpq' package comes with a manpage for
+every library function. If you use 'libmpq' first time it is a good
+idea to read the `FAQ' file.
