SYNOPSIS
alevtd [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
alevtd is http daemon which serves
videotext pages as HTML. Tune in some station with a utility like
v4lctl or some TV application. Then start it and point your browser
to http://localhost:5654/
Pages may be requested either in HTML format (http://localhost:5654/<page>/ or
http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.html)
or in ASCII text format (http://localhost:5654/<page>/<subpage>.txt).
Subpage "00" can be used for pages without subpages.
