+     "This package was derived from Rsymphony.  The package provides an R
+interface to SYMPHONY, a linear programming solver written in C++.  The main
+difference between this package and Rsymphony is that it includes the solver
+source code, while Rsymphony expects to find header and library files on the
+users' system.  Thus the intention of @code{lpsymphony} is to provide an easy
+to install interface to SYMPHONY.")
