SystemViuw 4. Installation

Copy it into your /usr/local/bin or whatever.

Put follow lines in your .steprc (you run AfterStep WM):

*Wharf sysviuw nil Swallow "sysviuw" sysviuw &

You can also edit the source, and chance $w and $h to 58 (default 48), then you change the .steprc line from Swallow to MaxSwallow.

My complete toolbar looks like this:

WARNING: Depending on the ptk- and Perl-version this application grows in memory-usage (memory-leak); upgrade to the latest version of both.
