-There is no need to tell B<Capinfos> what type of
-file you are reading; it will determine the file type by itself. 
-B<Capinfos> is also capable of reading any of these file formats if they
-are compressed using gzip.  B<Capinfos> recognizes this directly from the
-file; the '.gz' extension is not required for this purpose.
+B<Capinfos> is a program that reads one or more capture files and
+returns some or all available statistics of each E<lt>I<infile>E<gt>.
 
 The user specifies which statistics to report by specifying flags 
-corresponding to the statistic.  If no flags are specified, B<Capinfos> will
-report all statistics available.

+B<Capinfos> is able to detect and read the same capture files that are 
+supported by B<Ethereal>.
+The input file doesn't need a specific filename extension, the file 
+format and an optional gzip compression will be automatically detected.

+I<http://www.ethereal.com/docs/man-pages/ethereal.1.html>
