+.SH Description
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWFloppyd_installtest\fR is used to check for the presence of a running
+floppyd daemon. This is useful, if you have a small front-end script to
+mtools, which decides whether to use floppyd or not.

+\&\fR\&\f(CWfloppyd_installtest\fR [\fR\&\f(CW-f\fR] Connect-String
+.PP
+If the \fR\&\f(CW-f\fR option is specified, \fR\&\f(CWfloppyd_installtest\fR does a
+full X-Cookie authentication and complains if this does not work.
+.PP
+The connect-String has the format described in the floppyd-section:
+\&\fIhostname\fR\fR\&\f(CW:\fR\fIdisplaynumber\fR[\fR\&\f(CW/\fR\fIbaseport\fR]

+.SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
+This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
+documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
+items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
+translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
+representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
+been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
+use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
+instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

+The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
+the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
+quoting conventions used in info.
