+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fIfliptext\fP program runs another program to generate a stream of
+text, then animates the lines of that text transparently flipping in
+and out in 3D.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I fliptext
+accepts the following options:
+.TP 8
+.B \-window
+Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
+.TP 8
+.B \-root
+Draw on the root window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-install
+Install a private colormap for the window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP\fP
+Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
+or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
+.TP 8
+.B \-program \fIsh-command\fP
+This program will be run periodically, and its output will be the text
+that is displayed. Default \fIxscreensaver\-text\fP.
+
+You can configure the text printed through the "Advanced" tab of
+.BR xscreensaver\-demo (1),
+or by editing your ~/.xscreensaver file.
+.TP 8
+.B \-size \fIinteger\fP
+How large a font to use, in points. (Well, in some arbitrary unit
+we're calling "points" for the sake of argument.) Default: 20.
+.TP 8
+.B \-columns \fIinteger\fP
+At (approximately) what column to wrap lines. Default 80. Wrapping is
+done by pixels, not characters, and lines will always wrap at the
+edge of the screen regardless.
+.TP 8
+.B \-left | \-center | \-right
+Whether to align the text flush left, centered, or flush right.
+The default is to choose randomly each time a new screen of text
+is displayed.
+.TP 8
+.B \-lines \fIinteger\fP
+How many lines of text should be shown at once. Default 8.
+.TP 8
+.B \-speed \fIratio\fP
+Change the animation speed; 0.5 to go half as fast, 2.0 to go twice as fast.
+.TP 8
+.B \-delay \fIusecs\fP
+The delay between frames of the animation; default is 10000 (1/10th second.)
+.TP 8
+.B \-font \fIfont-name\fP
+The name of the font to use. For best effect, this should be a large
+font (at least 36 points.) The bigger the font, the better looking the
+characters will be. Note that the size of this font affects only the
+clarity of the characters, not their size on the screen: for that, use
+the \fI\-size\fP or \fI\-columns\fP options.
+
+Default: -*-utopia-bold-r-normal-*-*-720-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
+.TP 8
+.B \-fps
+Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.PP
+.TP 8
+.B DISPLAY
+to get the default host and display number.
+.TP 8
+.B XENVIRONMENT
+to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
+stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
