+pgRouting extends the PostGIS / PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide
+geospatial routing functionality.
+
+The following algorithms are compiled:
+* Dijkstra - shortest path algorithm
+* A-star (A*) - shortest path algorithm using heuristical function
+* Shooting star (Shooting*) - shortest path algorithm for real road
+ networks with turn restrictions, traffic lights and one way streets
+
+A script for creating a pgRouting database template on Slackware will be
+added to the documentation directory.
