+xgridloc is a GTK+ graphical version of gridloc and performs
+the same basic functions, but additionally it can use xplanet
+to display the home and DX locations and the great circle
+path between them.
+
+gridloc is a program that accepts latitude and longitude and
+returns the Maidenhead grid locator.
+
+By default, xgridloc wants to install .xgridlocrc to the
+installing user's $HOME. This SlackBuild patches that out
+of make install, and instead drops it in the doc directory
+so that end users can copy it down themselves.
+
+xplanet is an optional dependency.
