1. Introduction.
----------------

This is v2.0.X of gperfmeter, a GNOME/Gtk+ port of sdtperfmeter, the
performance monitor that was previously in CDE (Common Desktop Environment).


2. Getting started.
-------------------

See the file 'INSTALL'

The manual pages also describe how to use gperfmeter in detail.

There is a TODO file included which lists current bugs, and the
enhancements that will hopefully be added in the future.


3. Perfmeter history.
--------------------
Perfmeter was originally a SunView application on Sun Workstations. A
port to the XView toolkit was done around 1990, for inclusion in the
OpenWindows DeskSet. It was again ported to Motif for inclusion in CDE
about about 1993. About 2001, it was ported to GNOME/Gtk+ for inclusion
in the version of GNOME 2.0 that came with Solaris.


4. Acknowledgements.

See the AUTHORS file.

Suggestions for further improvement would be most welcome, plus bug reports
and comments.
