+<title>Description</title>
+<para>&kappname; is a program for managing various archive formats
+within the &kde; environment. Archives can be viewed, extracted, created
+and modified from within &kappname;. The program can handle various
+formats such as <application>tar</application>,
+<application>gzip</application>, <application>bzip2</application>,
+<application>zip</application>, <application>rar</application> and
+<application>lha</application> (if appropriate command-line programs are
+installed). &kappname; can work closely with &konqueror; in the &kde;
+environment to handle archives, if you install the &konqueror;
+Integration plugin available in the kdeaddons package.</para>
