NAME
       xalf - X Application Launch Feedback


SYNOPSIS
       xalf [options] program...


DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page documents briefly the xalf command. This
       manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribu-
       tion  because  the original program does not have a manual
       page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNOME help sys-
       tem.


       xalf provides feed back while loading X applications.

       mary of options is included below.
