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 ses-
     sions.

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 Although  a  country  file  is  in-
	    stalled  as a part of Xdx, it will quickly become out of date as up-
	    dates are made available frequently.  Announcements of updated coun-
	    try 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 directory,
	    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

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