+xfhell is a GTK+ application for the "fuzzy" digital communication mode 
+known as Hellschreiber. xfhell has several different built-in fonts in 
+Adobe BDF format, including a font set for Greek, and a special "short" 
+font set that is 12 pixels high instead of the standard 14 of the original 
+Hell fonts. Using this font set would make xfhell incompatible with other 
+Hellschreiber programs, but the short fonts speed up operation and avoid 
+wasted bandwidth, inherent in the original Hellschreiber design (an 
+unavoidable problem of the original mechanical implementation of the mode). 
+xfhell also has selectable lower baud rate operation (down to 7.6 Bd), 
+which again make it incompatible with other Hellschreiber programs, but 
+the lower speeds (especially combined with the 12-pixel fonts) would make 
+this mode even more efficient and effective.
+
+xfhell has built-in CAT control for the FT847 and FT857 transceivers and a 
+QSO logging facility similar to xpsk31. It also has a FFT-derived waterfall 
+display of the incoming signal, with the ability to detect maximum signal 
+level and tune the transceiver, via CAT, to the appropriate carrier 
+frequency by clicking near the signal trace.
+
+By default, xfhell wants to install a directory structure in the $HOME of
+the installing user. The SlackBuild overrides this, and copies that structure
+into /usr/share/xfhell-$VERSION/.
