+The Concept
+
+The idea behind MicroIMP is to reconcile two so far disjoint worlds: the World
+of the Word Processors and the World of quality technical typesetting.
+
+In the World of the Word Processors, where Microsoft Word reigns,
+the document are easy to make and no learning cycle is required; but the
+document are often lack in quality and the easiness comes at the cost of
+sacrificing features.
+
+In the World of Quality Technical Typesetting, where TeX reigns, features
+and quality are abundant; but the learning cost turns off most of the
+new users dooming TeX to the niche enthusiast market.
+
+Enter MicroIMP: an intuitive WYSIWYG document preparation system,
+based on LaTeX.
+
+MicroIMP delivers easiness: no TeX markup needs to be learned; no commands,
+and no backslashes.
+WYSIWYG.
+Ready to use the moment you run it.
+Don't struggle with the syntax, but Imp with Impunity.
+
+MicroIMP delivers power: it is based on a TeX kernel and incorporates TeX
+formatting techniques; these include math, hyphenation, automatic ligatures,
+and much else. As MicroIMP grows, more TeX/LaTeX features would be added --
+without any burden on the user.
+
+(Hardcore TeX users should not disappointed by the above: there
+is a way to enter TeX commands and \'s in the document...if you so insist.)
+
+Overview:
+
+MicroIMP has a typical Word Processing look and feel: you can enter the
+text right away, and use the formatting commands from the menus to change
+its appearance.
+Most of the menu commands are intuitive and no additional documentation
+is needed to explain them.
+
+MicroIMP features include
+
+* Full WYSIWYG interface.
+* Spelling checker.
+* Multiple language support (English, German, Dutch, Italian, French)
+* Table of Contents generation.
+* Index generation.
+* References.
+* Accent command support.
+* Lists, including itemizing, enumerating and description (build 012).
+* Tables.
+* Mathematics.
+* Equation numbering.
+* Box rotation and scaling.
+* Graphics inclusion (all common bitmap formats.)
+* Trees.
+* Hyperlinks.
+* Copy/Paste of text (including Unicode), markup, and images.
+* Read/Write blocks of text.
+* Save as TML (native format), PDF/PS, and LaTeX
+* Support for the TeX-standard CM fontset, EC, and a number of alternatives.
+* RTF import.
