 .SH DESCRIPTION
-This is the Debian GNU/Linux version of Arb.
+ARB is a graphically oriented software suite for phylogenetic analysis of
+sequence data. It allows managing large sets of sequence data, associated
+descriptions as well as alignments and phylogenetic trees.
 
-The ARB software is a graphically oriented package comprising various tools
-for sequence database handling and data analysis. A central database of
-processed (aligned) sequences and any type of additional data linked to
-the respective sequence entries is structured according to phylogeny or
-other user defined criteria.
+Launching ARB without arguments will open a file chooser. Launching ARB
+with one DATABASE argument will open the specified file or, if DATABASE is
+a directory or a pattern, a file chooser with that directory/pattern 
+selected. Launching ARB with two DATABASE arguments will open the database
+merge tool. The "--import" option will show the import dialog and create
+a new database from the file(s) described by PATTERN.
 
-For a more detailed description see the Arb homepage
-http://rtfm.arb-home.de/
+Running "arb shell" will open another shell with all ARB environment 
+variables set. This is useful to e.g. run ARB Perl scripts or tools part
+of the arb package such as arb_pt_server or arb_probe.
