Thanks Christoph,
I'll give it a try and report back to the list.
The recent versions of Xray are written in Delphi which seems to only run on
Windows. Please correct me if this is wrong. There seems to be source code
written in Pascal but I'm not sure what to do with it. I found an earlier
version that runs in linux but it seems to be only available in Spanish.
I'd be happy with a French or English version but there don't seem to be
any. 
Thanks for the help.
Jonathan
