+.SH NAME
+vdltodmx - dmx configuration file parser and printer
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B vdltodmx
+.I infile
+.I outfile
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I vdltodmx
+reads the input file, which should be in VDL configuration file format.
+After a successful parse, a file in Xdmx configuration file format is
+written to the output file.
+.P
+The VDL file format is used with
+.IR xmovie ,
+which is available from
+http://www.llnl.gov/icc/lc/img/xmovie/xmovie.html
+.SH EXAMPLE
+Given the following VDL-format file:
+.RS
+.nf
+0
+2
+#
+#
+2560 2048 Left two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
+2
+:2.1 1280 2048 0 0 0 0

+.RE
+the following DMX-format file will be produced:
+.RS
+.nf
+#
+#
+virtual "Left two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
+ display :2.1 1280x2048;
+ display :2.2 1280x2048 @1280x0;
+}
+#
+virtual "Right two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
+ display :2.2 1280x2048;
+ display :2.3 1280x2048 @1280x0;
+}
+.fi
+.RE
+.SH BUGS
+If the VDL file is not in the expected format, the program will probably
+dump core.
