tkodometer 1.0 Here is tkodometer, a Tcl/Tk implementation of my Xlib program xodometer, which tracks the total distance your cursor and pointing device (typically a mouse) travel. It also maintains "trip" distance since the application started or since you clicked on a trip reset button. A pull-down menu allows you to select in which units the distance is displayed, from millimeters to nautical miles to light-nanoseconds, and more. tkodometer requires a one-time calibration procedure which is fully described by reading the man page, entering "tkodo -full_help" or selecting Help/Usage from the tkodometer Menu bar. tkodometer was inspired by the Macintosh Mouse Odometer program written by Sean P. Nolan. xneko by Masayuki Koba provided my initial insights into writing X programs, while Michael D. Moore has taught me the guts of Tcl/Tk. An IBM RS/6000 model 320 running AIX 3.2.5 with mwm and X11 Release 5 was the primary developement environment. Please report any bugs and be sure to fully specify your configuration. Although in theory the cursor distance can be reliably tracked, the actual distance your pointing device moves is only APPROXIMATED and will not be very exact, so don't report this as a bug :-)! Installation The tkodometer tar file is available via anonymous FTP from FTP.Lehigh.EDU in the directory pub/tkodo. After modifying the Imakefile variables as required generate your Makefile from the Imakefile in the standard manner. Then run "make" followed by "make install". I welcome comments, enhancements, and bug reports. Take care. Stephen O. Lidie Lehigh University Computing Center lusol@Lehigh.EDU Revision History lusol@Lehigh.EDU, LUCC, 94/07/22 .
