+xzoom (magnify part of X display, with real-time updates)
+
+Like xmag, xzoom magnifies a section of the X display. Xzoom is
+different because it will continuously update the magnified area as
+the display changes. It is fast enough to enlarge small animations,
+for example. It can also mirror or rotate a part of the screen.
+
+Xzoom displays in its window a magnified area of the X11 display. The
+user can interactively change the zoomed area, the window size,
+magnification (optionally different magnification for X and Y axes) or
+rotate or mirror the image. See the man page for the list of keyboard
+and mouse commands.
+
+If you don't like the "rubber-band" frame xzoom uses when dragging with
+the mouse, you can disable it by exporting FRAME=no in the script's
+environment (sorry, it's a compile-time option only).
