+ <para>
+ <application>zerk</application> is an all purpose GREIS fitting.
+If you do not have a Javad GPS that speaks the GREIS protocol then you
+can stop reading now.</para>
+ <para>This tool operates with your Javad GPS at a very low level.
+To understand <application>zerk</application> you must first be familiar
+with your Javad GPS and the documentation for the GREIS protocol.

+ <application>zerk</application> can decode common GREIS messages,
