xtt - X TimeTable. ================== This program is mainly for students, like me, that have to try to drag themselves away from a computer in time for lectures. It reads in your timetable from a file ($HOME/.xtt) and displays it a day at a time. A warning is popped up a number of minutes (default: 10) before a lecture is due to start. It is intended for a specific purpose, and is therefore fairly inflexible. The offset from the hour of the lectures, the number and start time of lectures can be changed, but they can only be on weekdays, and all last one hour. If you want a flexible appointment system then go somewhere else. Requirements, other than the obvious: Xaw Xpm Colour monitor (preferable) Imake Compiling: xmkmf make Tested on: Solaris 2.4 SunOS 4.1.4 WARNING: This is the first program I've released to the world, so there's bound to be problems compiling it. Fix the Imakefile if you can, else just do something like: gcc -O2 -c xtt.c gcc -o xtt xtt.o -lXpm -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 adjusting as necessary. If there's something simple I can do to improve the Imakefile, please let me know. Testing and Installing: ./xtt -file example.xtt, to test it - it should use my timetable (2nd year Comp Sci) cp example.xtt ~/.xtt and edit it to enter your timetable - details of the file format are contained within. If you happen to want to keep it, just copy it to where you want, and copy the man page to xtt.1 in a directory in your MANPATH. Type xtt -help for the command line options. Read the man page for more details. Criticism, bug reports and suggestions welcome, or simply just let me know if it works, and if you intend to use it. Cheers, Matt Chapman csuoq@csv.warwick.ac.uk
