Kodometer v1.0 - the most useless program, period.
By Armen Nakashian <armen@nakashian.com>

I was talking to this guy at work, when I noticed something on his
screen kept flickering as he moved his mouse.  I asked him what it
was, and he told me it was Xodometer.  I instantly became obsessed,
and ported it Qt/C++ the next day.


WHAT IS KODOMETER?

Kodometer keeps track of the distance your mouse covers across your
screen, in inches, feet, and finally miles (Or cm/m/km!)  The core
functionality is based on a VMS Xodometer program written by Mark
H. Granoff/mhg of DEC.

I've heard there's another similar program, Xodo, which does the same
thing.  I don't know how these are related.

mhg seems to have gotten the idea for Xodmeter from an OS/2 program.
Check out kodo.cxx for details.


WHAT MAKES KODOMETER ESPECIALLY USELESS?

I decided to give this program my all.  Rather than just writing out
the distance, it uses my KImageNumber class to draw it like a real
car's odometer!


HOW DO I COMPILE THIS, ANYWAY?

Run configure, then type 'make'.  This will build kodo for you.  After
building, you have to install it (it needs a gif file to be in a
certain place). Type 'make install' to finish everything up.

KNOWN BUGS

- When you quit, the process doesn't exit

- You can't tell what the units are without using the tooltips.
  I need to devise some pretty way of displaying the units.
