\bx displays a Dacom 450/500 Facsimile file (see NIC RFC
803) in an X window. By default, the host and display
number are extracted from the environment variable
``DISPLAY'', but one can specify a different host in the
command line. The window is created in the usual way using
a geometry specification or using a mouse button. Clicking
left creates a full screen window. With the center button,
depress the button to define one corner of the window, move
the cursor to where the opposite corner of the window should
be and release the button.
Decoding the file usually takes no more than a minute, and
then the file is displayed. You can move around in the file
by pressing the center button in one spot, moving somewhere,
and releasing the button. The spot you pointed at first
will move to the spot you pointed at last.
On color displays, colors can be specified in the command
