Once installed, you can start the application with the command "rtd".
There is also a simulation mode, which may be started with the command

    rtd -debug 1

This automatically starts the rtdServer and a simulation application,
tRtd, that generates dummy images. Rtd always starts the rtdServer
background process as needed when you attach a camera.

For installation instructions, see the file INSTALL in the parent
directory.  See the CHANGES file in this directory for a list of
