*** wmpalm 0.1b ***

changes:
--------
0.11b:	oops, some files were missing
0.1b:	initial release

description:
------------
This is a windowmaker applet that checks wether you pressed the hotsync button on your palm pilot and spawns
shell commands if you did. It is meant to make installing apps and syncing nicer.

copying:
--------
do whatever you feel like, i don't give shit. actually some of the code has been ripped by myself...

requirements:
-------------
well, you need X. and it doesnt make much sense without the pilot-link utilities that you can get from ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/

compilation:
------------
basically its just

make install

but it might be necessary to change some include directories or libraries. if you don't like the image or the 
colors, just change the bitmaps before compiling.

installation:
-------------
do a 

make install

as root. If this doesnt work (or you don't have the required privileges), just copy wmpalm to wherever you
want it, it doesnt care.

configuration:
--------------
you should have a config file somewhere (usually its ~/.wmpalm) that has the lines 

DevPilot /dev/pilot
SyncCmd /home/robertle/.palm/sync

in it. Of course you might need to customize them to your box. please note that the synccmd MAY NOT contain
shell exports like "~", so SyncCmd ~/.palm/sync IS NOT WORKING. this will be fixed soon

sample conf:
------------
i have a .wmpalm file in my home dir that looks like above, and a directory called .palm with subdirs called
backup and install. ~/.palm also contains a shell script that does the real sync, what looks like that:

#! /bin/sh

export PILOTRATE=57600
pilot-xfer -i ~/.palm/install/* -s ~/.palm/backup > ~/.palm/lastsync.log
rm install/* -f

so you just copy everything you want to install to ~/.palkm/install and press the sync button on your cradle

trouble shooting:
-----------------
please use the --verbose option to check whats going on. If you have any trouble compiling, installing or
running, if you manage to run this on anything but i686-linux, or have suggestions....
