+"<qt><h1>Documentation for AQPkg</h1><p> " \
+"AQPkg is a package manager for the Sharp Zaurus.<br><br> " \
+"Basic Instructions:<br><br> " \
+"On startup, you will be shown a window. The main part of the window is taken up " \
+"by a list box showing packages. The packages shown will depend on the server selected.<br><br> " \
+"The servers list contains network servers containing feeds of packages that can be downloaded " \
+"and installed onto your Zaurus. These are held in the file /etc/ipkg.conf and can be maintained " \
+"using AQPkg. In addition to the servers defined in ipkg.conf file, there are two other servers - " \
+"local and local IPKGs. These are not network servers but views of yours Zaurus.<br><br> " \
+"The local server shows all installed packages, and the local IPKGs server shows all ipks " \
+"that are stored on your Zaurus.<br><br> " \
+"On the local server, you can only remove packages. On the local IPKGs server you can only " \
+"install and delete packages - removing installed packages is currently not working. On all other " \
+"servers you can install, uninstall, upgrade and download packages.<br><br> " \
+"To get the latest package list for a server (or refresh the view), select the server you " \
+"wish to update and click the Refresh List button.<br><br> " \
+"To download a package from a remote server, select the server (any except local and local IPKGs), " \
+"then select the package(s) you wish to download (by tapping in the box next to the package " \
+"name so that a tick appears in the box) and click the Download button. Enter the path where you " \
+"want the package to be downloaded to and click OK to download the package.<br><br> " \
+"To install, upgrade or remove a package select the packages you wish to install and click the Apply " \
+"button. You will then be shown a dialog which allows you to select which destination you wish " \
+"to install the package to, which packages will be installed, removed and upgraded. You can also " \
+"set various options. (for the moment, see the documentation for IPKG for more details on these " \
+"options). To start the process, click Start. This will perform the necessary operations and " \
+"will show you what is happening. Once everything has completed click the Close button.<br><br> " \
+"Note: Currently, the operation to perform for a package is automatically decided based on the " \
+"following rules:<br><br> " \
+" If a package isn't installed, then it will be installed.<br> " \
+" If a package is installed and there isn't a later version available then it will be removed.<br> " \
+" If a package is installed and a different version is available then it will be upgraded. (Note, " \
+"I haven't yet found a way to determine if an available package is newer or older than the one " \
+"currently installed so it is possible that a package may be downgraded).<br><br> " \
+"As previously mentioned, a package can be explicitly removed by using the local server.<br><br> " \
+"A couple of last notes, in the main window, the following may be useful:<br><br> " \
+"If a package is installed then it will have (installed) after it.<br><br> " \
+"If a different version is available then it will have a * after the package name.<br><br> " \
+"You can view details of a package by tapping twice (quickly) on the package name (NOT the " \
+"box next to the package name). This will show you a brief description of the package, the " \
+"version installed (if it is installed), and the version available for download or installation " \
+"(if a different on is available).<br><br> " \
+"Well, hope you enjoy using this program. If you have any ideas/suggestions/ideas for improvements " \
+"then please let me know at andy.qua@blueyonder.co.uk.<br><br> " \
+"Thanks for using this. " \
+"Andy. " \
