+     "This package is a small LaTeX package that adds a collection of simple macros
+for parentheses and bullets.  It exists for one purpose only, to be loaded by
+documents which were originally typeset using the package SemanTeX, but which
+have been stripped of SemanTeX markup using the package @code{stripsemantex}
+which is part of SemanTeX.  Therefore, unless your document is one of those,
+simply don't use this package.  And even if your document is one of those,
+there is a good chance you will not have to load it after all.  In most cases,
+you will be able to replace the macros it provides by macros from other
+packages.")
