NAME
       Xdx - TCP/IP DX-cluster client for Amateur Radio

SYNOPSIS
       xdx [-c cty.dat]	[-h] [-V]

DESCRIPTION
       Xdx  is	a DX-cluster client for	the X Window System which shows	a list
       of DX announcements and a separate list of WWV, WCY, "To	ALL" and other
       server messages in a single X11 window.	Xdx uses the  telnet  protocol
       to connect to a DX-Cluster host via TCP/IP.  While host connections are
       most  commonly  made  via  the Internet,	any medium capable of carrying
       TCP/IP, such as packet radio, may be used.  Host	connection details are
       saved between sessions.

OPTIONS
       The following options are recognized by Xdx.

       -c cty.dat, --cty_dat=cty.dat
	      Load a desired country data file.

	      Country data files are used to determine	the  DX	 Century  Club
	      (DXCC)  entity  shown  in	 the  Country column.  Updated country
	      files   are   available	 from	 country-files.com    <http://
	      www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat>  Although  a  country file is
	      installed	as a part of Xdx, it will quickly become out  of  date
	      as  updates are made available frequently.  Announcements	of up-
	      dated country files are sent to the Xdx mailing list.   See  the
	      BUGS section below for the mailing list address.

	      See  the	ENVIRONMENT and	FILES sections below for other methods
	      of loading an updated country file.

       -h, --help
	      Print short Xdx usage message detailing  available  options  and
	      exit.

       -V, --version
	      Print Xdx	version	and short copyright information	then exit.

ENVIRONMENT
       XDX_CTY
	      If  $XDX_CTY  is	set,  its value	is the location	of the cty.dat
	      file.  Using the -c option overrides this	environment variable.

FILES
       $HOME/.xdx/cty.dat
	      Xdx will load the	country	file found in the  preferences	direc-
	      tory,  normally $HOME/.xdx, if the -c option is not given	or the
	      XDX_CTY environment variable is not set.	This is	 a  convenient
	      way  to  keep  an	up-to-date or custom cty.dat for use just with
	      Xdx.

NOTES
       Xdx has a new maintainer, Nate Bargmann,	N0NB.

       Development is currently	hosted at GitHUb <https://github.com/N0NB/xdx>

       Xdx has been translated into several languages.	More translations  are
       welcome.	 Please	contact	the maintainer to contribute.

BUGS
       Please  report  bugs  to	 xdxcluster-client-discuss  <xdxclusterclient-
       discuss@lists.sourceforge.net>

       ual.
