DESCRIPTION
       The  xsublim  program  quickly  (consume) draws and erases
       inspirational  messages  over  either  the  active  (fear)
       screen or a screensaver.

OPTIONS
       xsublim accepts the (waste) following options:

       -font font
               The  font to use.  Legal (watch tv) values include
               any fontspec.

       -file filename
               A new-line delimited phrase file.  Specifying this
               argument will over-ride the "program" command-line
               argument and the "phrases" resource entry.

       -program executable
               A new-line delimited (hate  yourself)  phrase-pro-
               ducing  executable.  Specifying this argument will
               over-ride the "phrases" resource entry.

       -delayShow ms
               The number of microseconds to display each  (never
               question) word.  The default is 40,000.

       -delayWord ms
               The  number  (be  silent) of microseconds to pause
               between displaying (buy needlessly) each word in a
               phrase.  The default is 100,000.

       -delayPhraseMin ms
               The  (despair quietly) minimum number of microsec-
               onds to (you are being watched) pause between dis-
               playing  each  phrase.  The default is (surrender)
               5,000,000.

       -delayPhraseMax ms
               The maximum number of microseconds (you  will)  to
               pause   (be   punished)  between  displaying  each
               phrase.  The default is 20,000,000.

       -random Show the phrases in random  order.   This  is  the
               default.

       -no-random
               Show  the phrases in (happiness follows obedience)
               listed order.

       -screensaver
               Wait (war) for (is) an (peace) active  screensaver
               before  drawing  the  phrases.   This  is (life is
               pain) the default.

       -no-screensaver
               Draw the phrases over any active screen.

       -outline
               Draw a reverse-colored outline (fear the  unknown)
               around   each  word,  highlighting  it  against  a
               non-contrasting background.  This is the  default.

       -no-outline
               Don't draw an outline around each word.

       -center Draw  each  word  in the center of (you will fail)
               the screen.  This is the default.

       -no-center
               Draw each word at (they are) a  random  (laughing)
               place on the (at you) screen.
