$Id: README,v 1.7 2001/06/02 10:56:02 rsmith Exp $ This is the README file for xnetload 1.11.0 for Linux. Purpose ------- This program displays network traffic and uptime for the network connection named on the command line. It was originally written it to monitor dial-up connections. It requires the /proc file system! New versions ------------ New versions of this program are allways available first on the homepage: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/software/ On this web-page you'll also find an md5sum of the source package. Run `md5sum xnetload-1.11.0.tar.gz' and compare the output with the number found on the web-page. If the numbers differ, the source package was either mauled during download (use binary download if you're ftp-ing) or altered. Files ----- The distribution should contain the following files: COPYING GNU General Public License. Makefile Makefile for GNU make. README :-) CHANGELOG Changes between different versions. XNetload Application defaults file for xnetload. xnetload.1 Manual page. depend Dependency information for the compiler. data.c Data-collecting code. data.h Header for data collecting code. x11-ui.c Xt/Xaw user interface code. Building and installing the program ---------------------------------- - To build the program invoke 'make'. The default is to build a debugging binary. You can do a 'strip xnetload' before 'make install' or you can uncomment the second set of CFLAGS and LFLAGS for a optimized and stripped binary. - To install the program, invoke 'make install' *as root*. - Optionally, edit the application-defaults file (XNetload), and copy it (as root) to a place where X can find it. Usually a "app-defaults" directory in the X directory tree. On my system it is the /var/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/ directory. If you don't like it, login as root, change to the source directory and run 'make uninstall'. After that you can remove the source tree. Contacting the author --------------------- For questions, remarks and bug reports about the source release contact the author at the following addresses. e-mail: rsmith@xs4all.nl snail-mail: R.F. Smith Dr. Hermansweg 36 5624 HR Eindhoven The Netherlands The author only release source code packages. This is the best way to work around library versions and related difficulties. (It also means that other people, using the source, can find bugs :-) If you want to build a binary package, by all means do so, but please identify it as your doing and responsibility.
