   DXSpider was conceived and begun in 1998 by Dirk Koopman, G1TLH as an
   exercise in perl programming.  It has developed rapidly and today is a
   very powerful cluster program.  It was designed to be totally
   compatible with the AK1A program, although several commands have been
-  extended to try and improve functionality.
