Title: xcmd
Version: 1.7
Entered-date: 04JAN98
Description: Xcmd is a front-end for starting programs under X11.
                You can tell xcmd to look for a window with a specific
                class, resource name, or title string (using the
                `--find-<property>' options); if it finds one or more,
                xcmd will `raise' them, otherwise it will run the
                command you specify. You can tell xcmd to run commands
                that create their own windows (using `--xcmd'), or to
                run commands inside a terminal window (using `--cmd')
                with various options.
