.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
.
@PACKAGE_NAME@ is a DX-cluster client for the X Window System which
shows a list of DX announcements and a separate list of WWV, WCY,
\*(lqTo ALL\*(rq and other server messages in a single X11 window.
.
@PACKAGE_NAME@ 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.

.TP
.B XDX_CTY

.RB $ XDX_CTY
is set, its value is the location of the

Using the
.B \-c
option overrides this environment variable.

@PACKAGE_NAME@ will load the country file found in the preferences
directory, normally $\fBHOME\fI/.@PACKAGE@\fR, if the

option is not given or the
.B XDX_CTY
environment variable is not set.
.
This is a convenient way to keep an up-to-date or custom
.I cty.dat
for use just with @PACKAGE_NAME@.
