Convers client for Amateur Radio

## NAME

xconvers - Convers client for Amateur Radio

## SYNOPSIS

**xconvers** *\[options\]*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the **xconvers** program. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**Xconvers** is a split screen terminal program under X. After connecting a convers server the top section will display the server's response. You can type in your text in the bottom line. There is a possibility to record the server text into a file. Connecting to a server can be done after starting the program or through the command line.

## OPTIONS

- **-c channel**

  Channel to connect.

- **-s host:service**

  Connect to host at specified port number.

- **-p personal\_note**

  Send a personal note after connecting. This is used in older convers  servers.

## REMARKS

**Xconvers** was originally written as a client to connect to the convers server shipped with wampes. With your help I can change this program into modern convers client. Please send your comments/wishlist to  the  **xconvers** maintainer: pa3aba@debian.org.

## FILES

The application defaults file is in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults.
