This information, presented in a nice visual format, can be invaluable on laptops (as I have found in my recent/continual travels as a Field Engineer for a small computer hardware manufacturer). WMAPM compiles successfully on both 2.0.x and 2.1.1xx kernels using libc5 and libc6 (glibc2), and on FreeBSD 3.x-RELEASE/ FreeBSD-3.x-STABLE. WMAPM currently provides: * Status of power supply (battery or AC); * Percentage of battery remaining (numeric and meter); * Battery charging status; * Time left to battery depletion; * High/Low/Critical battery status (Red/Yellow/Green); Files -------------------------------------------------------------- README This file.
