SYNOPSIS
flarq [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Flarq (fast light automatic repeat request) is a file transfer application that is based on the ARQ specification developed by Paul Schmidt, K9PS. It is capable of transmitting and receiving frames of ARQ data via fldigi, as well as MultiPSK on Windows.

Short options begin with a single hyphen and are passed directly to FLTK. They may be abbreviated only as indicated.
