+producing charts of course nodes linked by arrows representing pre- and
+co-requisites, and @command{prerex}, an interactive program for creating and
+editing chart descriptions.  The implementation of @file{prerex.sty} uses PGF,
+so that it may be used equally happily with LaTeX or PDFLaTeX; @code{prerex}
+itself is written in C.  The package includes source code for a previewer
+application, a lightweight Qt-4 and Poppler-based prerex-enabled PDF viewer.")
