 NAME
      xldlas -- A Program for Statistics


 SYNOPSIS
      xldlas [-h] [-help] [--help] [-v] [-version] [--version] [-display
      displayname] [-private] [-shared] [-stdcmap] [-double] [-log
      logfilename] [-tlog texlogfilename] [-hlog htmllogfilename] [-icol
      importfilename] [-irow importfilename] [datafile]


 DESCRIPTION
      xldlas is a basic statistical package that runs under the X Window
      System and is built around the XForms library. Details of use are
      available from within the program (see the Help menu). Command line
      options are summarized below.


 OPTIONS
      All options are just that (ie. optional).


      -h, -help, --help
           Make xldlas display help on usage via the command line instead of
           starting up normally.


      -v, -version, --version
           Make xldlas display version information via the command line
           instead of starting up normally.


      -display displayname
           Make xldlas open its displays on the X display specified by
           displayname. The default is 0:0.


      -private
           Force xldlas to use a private colourmap. This option would almost
           never be used, since the default behaviour is to use a private
           colour map if there are not enough colours available.


      -shared
           Force xldlas to share colours. This option is useful if you are
           running on a display with limited colours and want to prevent
           "flashing".


      -stdcmp
           Tell xldlas you want it to use a standard colourmap.

      -double
           This sets double-buffering on all graphic elements, resulting in
           smoother (but slower) updating.


      -log logfilename
           Ask xldlas to open a regular (ASCII) log file upon startup with
           the name specified by logfilename.


      -tlog texlogfilename
           Ask xldlas to open a TeX format log file upon startup with the
           name specified by texlogfilename.


      -hlog htmllogfilename
           Ask xldlas to open an HTML format log file upon startup with the
           name specified by htmllogfilename.


      -icol importfilename
           Ask xldlas to import column-format ascii data upon startup from
           the file specified by htmllogfilename.


      -irow importfilename
           Ask xldlas to import row-format ascii data upon startup from the
           file specified by htmllogfilename.


      datafile
           Upon startup, load the dataset stored in a .lda format datafile
           specified by datafile into xldlas.
