DESCRIPTION

13       spdrs60 is a graphical Simple Railroad Command Protocol  (SRCP)  client
14       to
15        comfortably  control  a  digital  model  railroad.   His look has been
16       adopted from the original German Railway SpDrS60 switch-boxes.   It  is
17       designed  for  use  with  a SRCP server as provided by the DDL project.
18       For historical reasons there have been several partly incompatible ver‐
19       sions  of  SRCP.   This  version  of spdrs60 only supports SRCP version
20       0.8.4 and hence needs a suitable SRCP  server  like  srcpd  (http://sr‐
21       cpd.sourceforge.net/).   For basic usage of spdrs60 it may be sufficent
22       to connect to servers providing older SRCP standards ranging from 0.8.0
23       to 0.8.3.

25   Generic Messages
26       spdrs60 supports Generic Messages (GM) which were introduced to SRCP in
27       version 0.8.4. This feature is used to transport CRCF (Common  Railroad
28       Configuration Files) data enabling SRCP clients to exchange information
29       not part of the SRCP specification.  spdrs60 acts as  CRCF  server  and
30       client  and  can communicate with CRCF clients like dtcltiny to provide
31       route specific information.
32

OPTIONS

34       For now spdrs60 does not implement special  command-line  options,  but
35       supports generic options of the underlying Qt-library.
36
37       -geometry WxH+X+Y
38              Sets  the size and location of the main window. This may be spe‐
39              cially useful for displaying a full-size railroad layout.
