Introduction
------------
-This is `htop`, an interactive process viewer.
-It requires `ncurses`. It is developed primarily on Linux,
-but we also have code for running under FreeBSD and Mac OS X
-(help and testing are wanted for these platforms!)
-
-This software has evolved considerably over the years,
-and is reasonably complete, but there is always room for improvement.
-
-Comparison between `htop` and classic `top`
--------------------------------------------
-
-* In `htop` you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally
- to see all processes and full command lines.
-* In `top` you are subject to a delay for each unassigned
- key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape
- sequences are triggered by accident).
-* `htop` starts faster (`top` seems to collect data for a while
- before displaying anything).
-* In `htop` you don't need to type the process number to
- kill a process, in `top` you do.
-* In `htop` you don't need to type the process number or
- the priority value to renice a process, in `top` you do.
-* In `htop` you can kill multiple processes at once.
-* `top` is older, hence, more tested.
