Welcome to WOTS
===============

WOTS is an easily configurable, flexible and hopefully useful logfile
monitoring tool.  If you know `swatch', it isn't all that different in
concept, except that it does quite a bit more, and will do even more
in the future.

Getting WOTS
============

Well, you already have, but in case you can't remember, sometime in
the dim distant future:

See the file INSTALL in this directory.

History of WOTS
===============

1.22:
    changed the configuration a bit.  Now we edit Make.config
    to set up location of interpreters etc.  Then "make"
    will actually configure things, and "make install" as
    before (prompted by comments from Martin Paul -- easier
    to let the user tell us where things).

1.21:
    maintenance update

1.20:

    changed to Term::ANSIColor module for highlighting.
    experimental ~L, ~M matching in exec command.

1.19:

    rewrote backreference handler for partial pattern
    matches

1.18:

    minor bug fixes

1.17:

    added a "once" option to "!", so that e.g.
    ping checks don't bombard you with mail if
    a host is unreachable for a long time.

1.16:

    Tidied up some perl strict and -w slackness.

    --version just gives version and dies.

    Running fine with perl5.00404.

1.15:

    removed a bug which manifests itself at eof() on FreeBSD

1.14:

    Added ! to From lines to indicate a command to be run,
    stdio is piped into the pattern checker.

1.13:

    Upgraded to perl5.00402 - made necessary changes
