+The MacroMolecular Transmission Format (MMTF) is a binary encoding of
+biological structures. It includes the coordinates, the topology and
+associated data. Specifically, a large subset of the data in mmCIF or
+PDB files can be represented. Pronounced goals are a reduced file size
+for efficient transmission over the Internet or from hard disk to
+memory and fast decoding/parsing speed.
+
+This slackbuild does not compile but install the C++ headers needed to
+compile sources that supports it, e.g. Avogadro 2.
