-
- The official release of contool 3.0 follows this message in six shar
- files.
-
- Contool captures and displays messages written to your system console.
- It has features which allow you to ignore certain messages and take action
- when other messages arrive. It is a significant improvement over the normal
- console window, which provides no filtering capability.
-
- Contool 3.0 will only run under X Windows, either Open Windows 2.0 from
- Sun, or X11R4 with the XView 2.0 libraries from MIT. If you do not have
- either of these packages, I would strongly encourage you to obtain one of them.
-
- Contool 3.0 offers a number of additional features over its predecessor,
- version 2.2, including:
-
- * Uses the OPEN LOOK user interface.
-
- * Replaces a number of command line options with a comprehensive
- properties dialog box.
-
- * Additional filter actions, including executing arbitrary commands
- upon receipt of a message.
-
- * Tool properties are saved in the configuration file.
-
- * Console overflow handling now works.
-
- * Contents of the console can be printed.
-
- Contool has been tested extensively on a number of systems running both
- Open Windows and X11R4 XView. My heartfelt gratitude is extended to the
- contool beat test team, who wrung many bugs out if the tool so you wouldn't
- have to.
-
- Beta testers should obtain this release version to ensure that they are
- up to date with this release.
-
- As always, comments and bug reports are solicited. I hope you find
- contool to be useful.
