   Fair enough. Here the right thing is to describe in a few words   
   what your program does. Over a hundred isn't a few.   
      
   I'd give you a hand, but after reading your 114-word description   
   I was left none the wiser.   
      
   I don't be think I'll be replying again because I'm not sure I   
   can think of another way of saying 'describe in a few words what   
   your program does'.
