+## What does it do?
+
+[DisPass](http://dispass.babab.nl) is a passphrase generator.
+`dispass.el` is an [Emacs](http://gnu.org/software/emacs) wrapper for
+DisPass. It tries to improve upon the user interface(s) provided by
+DisPass by being an Emacs module, automatically copying generated
+passphrases to your clipboard, providing label completion and enabling
+easy management of labels.
+
+DisPass is written by a [friend](http://babab.nl) of mine and I really
+liked the idea of it. But the interface he had for it was not to my
+liking: it was not Emacs.
+
+It offers:
+
+- Copying passwords directly to the clipboard, no need for manual
+ selection and copying.
+
+- Specifying the length of the passphrase by using a numeric prefix
+ argument.
+
+- Input completion for labels.
+
+- Some label management (adding, removing).
+
+## Alternatives
+
+DisPass provides its own command-line-based interface and a Tk-based
+GUI and I also have a [Conkeror](http://conkeror.org) interface
+project for it. These all suffer from not being Emacs modules and are
+thus unusable.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Obviously it requires both [DisPass](http://dispass.babab.nl) and
+[Emacs](http://gnu.org/software/emacs). Beyond that there shouldn't be
+any requirements.
+
+## Download
+
+You can browse the
+[git source](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el), download a
+snapshot
+[tar.gz](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/master.tar.gz)
+or [zip](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/master.zip)
+archive or install a snapshot using
+[MELPA](http://melpa.milkbox.net/). #Note:# The snapshots require a
+recent snapshot from the DisPass git sources, they won't work with the
+latest DisPass release.
+
+You can download the latest release, v1.1.2, as a
+[tar.gz](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/1.1.2.tar.gz)
+or [zip](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/1.1.2.zip)
+archive or install it using [Marmalade](http://marmalade-repo.org).
+**Note:** v1.1.2 needs DisPass v0.2.0, it won't work with recent
+snapshots from the git sources.

+in the header of the

+use the same license.
