 > Xscotty is a tcl extension which allows to set up TCP and UDP
 > Xconnections, to send various ICMP packets, to query the domain name
 > Xsystem (DNS), to check clock skew using the NTP protocol and to query

 > XIncluded in this package is an interface to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. The
 > XSNMP stack was written from scratch to provide an efficient and
 > Xportable tcl SNMP extension. MIB extensions can be written in tcl by
 > Xrunning the scotty extension as an SNMP agent. This allows you to
 > Ximplement your own specific MIB without getting in contact with the
 > Xlowlevel ASN.1/BER stuff.
 > X
 > XThe scotty package includes scripts for the tkined network editor to
 > Xtroubleshoot your IP network (ping, traceroute, finger, query tcp
 > Xservices, query RPC services), for monitoring network status plus
 > Xscripts to discover and layout the topology of your IP network. SNMP
 > Xbased scripts can be used to dump routing tables, to query interface
 > Xstatus and to monitor SNMP variables. There is also a MIB browser to
 > Xinspect the MIB hierarchy.

 I don't think that this is an acceptable size.
 Maybe you shorten that to the first paragraph, which looks reasonable?
