Purpose of This Thorn
=====================
-This thorn finds an apparent horizon given the 3D xyz-grid metric and
-extrinsic curvature (and optionally the StaticConformal conformal factor).
-It uses a direct method, writing the apparent horizon equation as an
-elliptic PDE on angular-coordinate space. This is fast, but does
-require an intitial guess for the apparent horizon position.
+This thorn finds an apparent horizon (or more generally, a closed
+2-surface with S^2 topology having any desired constant expansion)
+given the 3D xyz-grid metric and extrinsic curvature (and optionally
+the StaticConformal conformal factor). It uses a direct method,
+writing the apparent horizon equation as an elliptic PDE on
+angular-coordinate space. This is very fast and accurate, but
+it does require an intitial guess for the apparent horizon position.
