NAME

       od-tkdesk - remotely open a directory using TkDesk

SYNOPSIS

       od-tkdesk [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

       If  invoked  with  no  argument,  od-tkdesk will open a new TkDesk file
       browser or list window displaying the contents of the  current  working
       directory.   Whether  a  browser  or  list  window  will  be  opened is
       determined by the menu entry "Always In Browser" in TkDesk’s  "Options"
       menu.

       If directory is given to od-tkdesk, its contents will be displayed in a
       new TkDesk window.

       Od-tkdesk communicates with TkDesk through a TCP/IP server  that  needs
       to  be  started from within TkDesk using the menu entry "TkDesk Server"
       from TkDesk’s "Options" menu.

              Usually in "/usr/local/bin", this program is used to perform the
              actual communication with TkDesk.
