The official release of contool 3.0 follows this message in six shar files. Contool captures and displays messages written to your system console. It has features which allow you to ignore certain messages and take action when other messages arrive. It is a significant improvement over the normal console window, which provides no filtering capability. Contool 3.0 will only run under X Windows, either Open Windows 2.0 from Sun, or X11R4 with the XView 2.0 libraries from MIT. If you do not have either of these packages, I would strongly encourage you to obtain one of them. Contool 3.0 offers a number of additional features over its predecessor, version 2.2, including: * Uses the OPEN LOOK user interface. * Replaces a number of command line options with a comprehensive properties dialog box. * Additional filter actions, including executing arbitrary commands upon receipt of a message. * Tool properties are saved in the configuration file. * Console overflow handling now works. * Contents of the console can be printed. Contool has been tested extensively on a number of systems running both Open Windows and X11R4 XView. My heartfelt gratitude is extended to the contool beat test team, who wrung many bugs out if the tool so you wouldn't have to. Beta testers should obtain this release version to ensure that they are up to date with this release. As always, comments and bug reports are solicited. I hope you find contool to be useful.
