DTCLTINY(1)

NAME
dtcltiny - SRCP based digital model train controller.

SYNOPSIS
dtcltiny [ -options ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
dtcltiny is a graphical Simple Railroad Command Protocol (SRCP) client to comfortably control a digital model trains. His look has been adopted from dtcl (Digital Train control) by Stefan Preis. This program is designed to be used with a SRCP server as provided by the DDL project.

dtcltiny can be used to access a local SRCP server, or to connect over a host to host TCP/IP network. For historical reasons there have been several partly incompatible versions of SRCP. This version of dtcltiny only supports SRCP version 0.8.4 and hence needs a suitable SRCP server like srcpd (http://srcpd.sourceforge.net/). For basic usage of dtcltiny it may be sufficent to connect to servers providing older SRCP standards ranging from 0.8.0 to 0.8.3.

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

OPTIONS
For now dtcltiny does not implement special command-line options, but supports generic options of the underlying Qt-library.

-geometry WxH+X+Y
    Sets the size and location of the main window. This may be specially useful for displaying a full set of train controllers.

FILES

~/.dtcltinyrc
    Personal dtcltiny defaults (see Options Preferences menu).

CONFORMING TO
This version of dtcltiny is conforming to SRCP 0.8.4.

BUGS
May be there are some bugs, worth to be smashed. Please send bug reports or suggestions to the dctltiny user mailinglist <dtcltiny-user@lists.sourceforge.net>.
