2 This app was Re-engineered from an app called wmstock. I have attached the
3 original credits. My goal was to make a super easy to use dock app lib.
4 It's very very limited... It's easy to use though!
6 I also severly plagerized wmstock's INSTALL instructions.
14 ------------------------------ Attachment -------------------------------------
16 The inspiration and some of the code for wmstock came from wmWeather (v1.30),
17 an excellent dock application. wmWeather was written by Mike Henderson
18 and it is available from:
20 http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~mgh/WindowMaker/DockApps.shtml
22 *** I no longer use this PERL package, but I did take some code from it,
23 and used it for versions 0.01 and 0.02 ***
25 I also used some code from the Finance::YahooQuotes PERL Module, which is
26 written by Dj Padzensky <djpadz@padz.net> The Finance::YahooQuote home page can
27 be found at http://www.padz.net/~djpadz/YahooQuote/

32 As I learned more about writing dock apps, I produced more and more of
33 my own code, and fixed what I believe were engineering flaws in wmWeather,
34 however, I recommend to anyone who wants to get started in dock app programming
35 to start with wmWeather, and perhaps also check out this page:
37 http://www.inria.fr/koala/lehors/xpm.html (info about XPMs)
39 Also, for those of you using XPMs in your code, I found its easier to start
40 with someone elses XPM, use your favorite text editor to rename the
41 variables in the structure, and then a picture editor (xpaint) to edit the
42 image. For me, I had to work with the image as a ppm in xpaint, and then
43 run ppmtoxpm to convert the image.
