glbiff v0.3.1
=============
This is a program similar to xbiff, except that it provides somewhat
nicer output. It requires the Mesa (OpenGL clone) libraries to render
the 3D mailbox. The idea comes from the "mailbox" program available on
SGI machines, and hence tries to mimic some of the features present in
it.
Note that this is an alpha version, and hence there are still "some"(tm)
outstanding bugs.
The program was written and tested on Linux. It may require some minor
changes for other flavours of UNIX.
Major changes
=============
- - big change: now using GLX instead of GLUT
- - glbiff now sets its ClassHint which makes it more window manager friendly;
in particular we can set more options in WindowMaker for this program
- - man pages added
- - now under GPL
- - bug fixes and improvements
Getting glbiff
==============
The latest version, as well as most up to date documentation is always
available at
http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac/projects/glbiff.html
Present capabilities/features
=============================
* monitors multiple mailboxes (only mbox format[1 folder=1 file] for now)
* left mouse button click brings up mail reader (can be specified with
command line argument "-mailprog")
* right mouse button click opens the mailbox without bringing up the
mail reader (useful to check the message count)
* runs a user defined script/program when new mail arrives in any of
the mailboxes ("-newmail")
* raised flag indicates unread mail in one of the mailboxes
* user-specified time-based sky colouring
