<h1>Chapter 1: Introduction</h1>
<p>
<code>XWatch</code> is a small program that I wrote to monitor logfiles and to see
any changes <strong>directly</strong> (instead of having to read all the logs after a
breakin or a crash). <code>XWatch</code> is simply started with a few file
arguments, and any information that appears on the files is displayed.
With a slider you can see past information; i.e., lines that scroll in
<code>xwatch</code>'s window. That's all there is to it. The appearance of the
<code>xwatch</code> window can furthermore be modified via command line flags or
via an application defaults file. (Older versions of <code>XWatch</code> had a
button to activate an `options' window. I removed this code, almost no-one
uses it.)
<p>
<code>XWatch</code> is incidentally my first applications with the XForms GUI
library for X, which I can highly recommend for developers who want to
start `X programming' but who don't want to go through the hassle of
having to learn about intrinsics. XForms is really excellent. Congrats,
T.C. Zhao and Mark Overmars (the latter is rumored to bootleg at a soccer
club in his free time ;). Instructions on where and how to get the XForms
library are in the <code>Makefile</code>, contained in <code>xwatch</code>'s distribution.
<p>
<strong>Debian maintainer note:</strong> XWatch doesn't have an active upstream
maintainer. If you are interested in taking over this package, please see
