<!-- Process this file with docbook-to-man to generate an nroff manual
     page: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml > manpage.1'.  You may view
     the manual page with: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml | nroff -man |
     less'.  A typical entry in a Makefile or Makefile.am is:

manpage.1: manpage.sgml

	The docbook-to-man binary is found in the docbook-to-man package.
	Please remember that if you create the nroff version in one of the
	debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need to include
	docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>This manual page documents briefly the
      <command>&dhpackage;</command> command.</para>

    <para>This manual page was written for the &debian; distribution
      because the original program does not have a (free) manual page.
      Instead, it has non-free documentation you can get from
			InterBase (Borland) or FireBird project sites; see at the end
			of the document.</para>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> is an interpreter for a query language on
     Firebird and Interbase databases.</para>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> is mainly provide for backwards
     compatibility for Interbase 4.0 and 3.3 and isn't supported anymore at the moment.
     This manpage has been reconstructed from the source of the qli tool and is likely
     to contain mistakes. If you find any, please report them as bugs.</para>
