PROGRAM
bricons
DESCRIPTION
The bricons program allows the user to start up applications
from a configured command panel on a workstation display
running X. The bricons interface can consist of up to sixteen
buttons which can display some text or an icon. Each button is
used to execute a shell command using the Bourne shell.
Each button can be configured to display a single spring
loaded popup menu with up to ten more buttons.
COMPILATION
Assuming a good X installation at your site, simply:
xmkmf ; make
Otherwise use the Makefile provided.
CONFIGURATION
Once the bricons program has been successfully compiled it can
be executed straight away it should display some example buttons
one of which is a sub menu.
The bricons program looks for a .briconsrc configuration file in
your home directory otherwise it looks in the current directory
for the file.
