 [I] A stand-alone memory siagnostic program for x86
 
-[T] Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for Intel i386 architecture
-[T] systems. BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check and often miss
-[T] failures that are detected by Memtest86. Memtest86 is it's own mini-os and
-[T] can be booted using lilo, grub or directly from the bios (e.g. if written
-[T] to the boot sector of a floppy disk).
-[T]
-[T] Bad memory or problems on the cpu<->memory bus are common reasons for
-[T] the well-known 'Signal 11 while compiling the kernel' problem. Please
-[T] read the Sig11 FAQ for details.
-[T]
-[T] The command 'memtest_install' can be used to create a memtest boot floppy.

+[T] Based on the well-known original memtest86 written by Chris Brady,
+[T] memtest86+ is a port by some members of the x86-secret team. Our goal
+[T] is to provide an up-to-date and completly reliable version of this
+[T] software tool aimed at memory failures detection.

+[T] Public License (GPL). No restrictions for use, private or commercial
+[T] exist other than the ones mentioned in the Gnu Public License
