+     "This is a data only package providing the algorithmic complexity of
+short strings, computed using the coding theorem method.  For a given set of
+symbols in a string, all possible or a large number of random samples of
+Turing machines with a given number of states (e.g., 5) and number of symbols
+corresponding to the number of symbols in the strings were simulated until
+they reached a halting state or failed to end.  This package contains data on
+4.5 million strings from length 1 to 12 simulated on Turing machines with 2,
+4, 5, 6, and 9 symbols.  The complexity of the string corresponds to the
+distribution of the halting states.")
