DESCRIPTION
     fractalpooluser  is a Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) pool user (PU) for
     the FractalGenerator service. It uses a Qt-based X11 GUI.

ARGUMENTS
     The following options are available:

     -identifier=PU_identifier
	     Sets a fixed PU identifier. Handle with care!

     -poolhandle=pool_handle

	     is "FractalGeneratorPool".

     Service Parameters:

	     -configdir=directory
		     Sets a directory to look for FGP config files. From all FGP
		     files  (pattern: *.fgp) in this directory, random files are
		     selected for the calculation of requests.

	     -caption=window_title
		     Sets the output window title.

	     -width=pixels
		     Sets the width of the window and the images  to  be  calcu-

	     -height=pixels
		     Sets  the	height of the window and the images to be calcu-
		     lated.

	     -threads=threads
		     Sets the number of parallel sessions to use for  processing
		     of each image.

	     -sendtimeout=milliseconds
		     Sets the transmission timeout.

		     Sets the receive timeout.

	     -interimagetime=seconds
		     Sets  the pause time between two image calculations in sec-
		     onds.

	     -imagestorageprefix=file_name_prefix
		     Sets a file name prefix for saving the  calculated  images.
		     If set, each successfully calculated image is stored to the
		     given  location  as  PNG  file,  with a 6-digit file number
		     added.

	     -colormarks
		     Turns on color change on session failover.

		     Sets the address of a CSP monitor server. By  default,  the
		     content  of the environment variable CSP_SERVER is used. If
		     not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

	     -cspinterval=milliseconds
		     Sets the interval for the CSP status updates  in  millisec-
		     onds.  By	default, the content of the environment variable
		     CSP_INTERVAL is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports
		     will be sent.

     fractalpooluser uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and  CSP_INTERVAL
     to define a CSP server to send reports to in the specified interval.

DIAGNOSTICS
     If  loglevel>0,  log messages will be printed to stdout or into a specified
     log file.
