-===============OPENSTRUCTURE molecular modelling framework ===============
+================= OpenStructure molecular modelling framework ==================
 
+OpenStructure provides a modular, flexible, molecular modelling environment
+which allows to integrate, process and visualize information of different origin
+such as sequences, alignments and 3D structures.
 
-OpenStructure is the next generation molecular modelling tailored at anybody
- using 3D Structures or electron density maps.
+Please refer to www.openstructure.org for more information and documentation.
 
-Please refer to www.openstructure.org for more information or try out
- directly one of the binary packages available for download.
-
-Thank you for you interest and enjoy the straightforward way of handling 
-protein structure data!
