- meter - an LED cpu metering application for Linux machines

- This program uses the hardware described in the included file "led-stat.txt"
- to create a CPU meter that displays on eight LEDs connected to your parallel
- port. The code to gather cpu statistics was modified from code written by Mike
- Romberg as part of Xosview. Here is the copyright included from that code.

- To compile just run "make". A precompiled version is already included.
- Note that the resulting code will only work if "make" is run as root. This
- is because the code makes use of direct I/O calls that must be executed as
- root. Once compiled, the program "meter" is set up as a setuid program so
- can be run by anyone and work.

- Happy Hacking.
