+.SH NAME 
+fd2pascal \- Free Pascal forms description to pascal program converter
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.B fd2pascal [-compensate] [-altformat] [-main] [-callback] filename
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+.B fd2pascal
+reads a XForms designer file (
+.I .fd
+) and creates pascal code to create the form
+described in the file. The pascal code is written to a file with the same
+name as the input file, but with extension 
+.I .pp
+if a file with that name already exists, then it will be renamed to a file 
+with the extension
+.I .bak
+appended.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+fd2pascal has a small number of options to control its behaviour:
+
+.TP
+.B \-altformat
+By default, a record type is emitted for the form definition, with a field
+for each widget (object) on the form. The alternate form declares a global 
+variable for the form and each widget on the form.
+.TP
+.B \-compensate
+If this option is given then a call to fl_adjust_form_size is emitted after
+the form is created.
+.TP
+.B \-callback
+If this option is given, then a callback procedure is generated for each 
+widget on the form.
+.TP
+.B \-main
+By default, a unit is created which can be included in the uses clause of
+a program. If this option is specified, a program file is emitted instead.
