This app was Re-engineered from an app called wmstock. I have attached the original credits. My goal was to make a super easy to use dock app lib. It's very very limited... It's easy to use though! I also severly plagerized wmstock's INSTALL instructions. Jettero Heller ------------------------------ Attachment ------------------------------------- The inspiration and some of the code for wmstock came from wmWeather (v1.30), an excellent dock application. wmWeather was written by Mike Henderson and it is available from: http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~mgh/WindowMaker/DockApps.shtml *** I no longer use this PERL package, but I did take some code from it, and used it for versions 0.01 and 0.02 *** I also used some code from the Finance::YahooQuotes PERL Module, which is written by Dj Padzensky The Finance::YahooQuote home page can be found at http://www.padz.net/~djpadz/YahooQuote/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I learned more about writing dock apps, I produced more and more of my own code, and fixed what I believe were engineering flaws in wmWeather, however, I recommend to anyone who wants to get started in dock app programming to start with wmWeather, and perhaps also check out this page: http://www.inria.fr/koala/lehors/xpm.html (info about XPMs) Also, for those of you using XPMs in your code, I found its easier to start with someone elses XPM, use your favorite text editor to rename the variables in the structure, and then a picture editor (xpaint) to edit the image. For me, I had to work with the image as a ppm in xpaint, and then run ppmtoxpm to convert the image. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to these people for helping fix/identify bugs Bug Date Credit No ticker name 06/21/99 Keldon Jones (keldon@umr.edu) - my roommate, wrote a 20 byte patch.
