+      (description
+       "Binary G-code is a new standard for encoding and compressing ASCII 
G-code
+files.  G-code files are easy to read and interpret, but their downside is 
that the
+data is not saved efficiently, and the file size is often very large.  
Compression of
+the file is problematic because the printers usually run on limited hardware 
and they
+may not have enough memory and/or CPU power to decompress it.
+
+Block and Binary G-Code is a new G-code file format featuring the following
+improvements over the legacy G-code:
+@itemize
+@item Block structure with distinct blocks for metadata vs. G-code.
+@item Faster navigation.
+@item Coding and compression for smaller file size.
+@item Checksum for data validity.
+@item Extensibility through new (custom) blocks.  For example, a file 
signature block
+may be welcome by corporate customers.
+@end itemize
+
+The binary G-code format is flexible and the encoding and compression of 
individual
+blocks is variable.  @code{libbgcode} library contains the routines to convert 
ASCII
+G-codes to binary and vice versa.")
