+FPoint - PowerPoint to Text Converter
+=====================================
+
+This program is a crude attempt to extract text from PowerPoint
+presentations files (*.pptx only, no legacy) written almost entirely in
+Fortran. The code attempts to decipher what is meant by each slide's
+structure in a vague manner. The text generated, at this time, is
+loosely based on gemtext, generally considered a subset of Markdown.
+
+Please see LICENSE for the license terms.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+This program requires the following:
+
+ Fortran XML (or FoX)
+ https://github.com/andreww/fox
+
+ libzip-wrapper
+ https://git.approximatrix.com/cgit.cgi/libzip-wrapper/
+
+ libzip (indirectly due to the above)
