= """This is wxSlash 1.0
11 It's the obligatory Slashdot.org headlines reader that any modern
12 widget set/library must have in order to be taken seriously :-)
14 Usage is quite simple; wxSlash attempts to download the 'ultramode.txt'
15 file from http://slashdot.org, which contains the headlines in a computer
16 friendly format. It then displays said headlines in a wxWindows list control.
18 You can read articles using either Python's html library or an external
19 browser. Uncheck the 'browser->internal' menu item to use the latter option.
20 Use the settings dialog box to set how external browser is started.
22 This code is available under the wxWindows license, see elsewhere. If you
23 modify this code, be aware of the fact that slashdot.org's maintainer,
24 CmdrTaco, explicitly asks 'ultramode.txt' downloaders not to do this
25 automatically more than twice per hour. If this feature is abused, CmdrTaco
26 may remove the ultramode file completely and that will make a *lot* of people
29 I want to thank Alex Shnitman whose slashes.pl (Perl/GTK) script gave me
30 the idea for this applet.
