+-------------
+BEESOFT is the software that works with BEETHEFIRST. It's open source software adapted form ReplicatorG.
+
+ReplicatorG is an open-source GCode based controller for RepRap / CNC machines.  It has 3 main goals:
+
+1. Be as simple to use, and as easy to install as possible.
+2. Be driver oriented and abstract the GCode away, allowing users to easily create drivers for their own machine.
+3. Support as much of the GCode specification as possible.
+
+For more information, see the website at: http://www.replicat.org
