General Information

Welcome to GWCC. This program is designed to be an easy-to-use, feature rich interface to your Unix-based operating system. I dont know about you, but i perform the same operations over-and-over day-after-day, and the command line provided via a terminal window ceases to be very useful once you want to start doing something with the information - like saving or printing it.

In addition to having to know all the flags for all the commands you want to use, you also have to scroll up-and-down the terminal window to retrace your steps and to cut-and-paste (what was that IP address again?).

So, i hope you will find my GTK/GNOME-based point-and-click application of some use in your daily computing activities. Please feel free to write to me with any suggestions you may have (see Contacting The Author below).

Installation

See the file 'INSTALL' for instructions. (They're really easy!)

Requirements

A Unix-based operating system with X-Windows.
An ANSI C compiler (e.g., gcc will work just fine).
A working version of GNOME installed on your system (see www.gnome.org).
A stable version of GTK correctly installed. If you do not have GTK, you can get it at http://www.gtk.org.

Features

Complete preferences system (no need to edit any config files, or know flags)
GNOME support (session management, dialogs, menus, etc.)
LibGLADE support
Saving and Printing of all output!
Highly configurable command flags and program behaviour.
