LICENSE:
 gPS is distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License, version 2
 or later. Read the file COPYING in this same directory for details.

FEATURES:
 * Process Filtering
 * Continuous refresh (top-like) mode
 * Information is grabbed directly from /proc filesystem
 * Easy sorting on any field
 * SIGKILL and SIGHUP signals (0.2.1)
 * Renice'ing processes       (0.2.1)

HARDWARE/OS REQUIREMENTS:
 * Linux. I have tested only on i386 but should compile and work
   under other architectures.
 * The kernel must have /proc fs enabled. If you're on a RedHat box
   and the 'ps' command works, then it's *almost* sure gPS will
   run too.
 * X11 Server

 Where to get it: www.kernel.org, www.redhat.com, www.webwatcher.org
                  and www.xfree86.org should get you there.

LIBRARY REQUIREMENTS
 * Gtk+ 1.2.0 or later. It's available from www.gtk.org
 * Gtk+ requires Gdk and Glib, which are available from www.gtk.org too.

INSTALL DIRECTIONS
 Read the INSTALL file.

USING gPS

 Use 

  man gps

 to see gPS' man page.

 * To sort on a field click on the column title. If you click it again
   it will sort in reverse order
 * For continuous refresh use the View menu.
 * To filter do Filter|Set filter..."
 * The Close button on the bottom will exit gPS. The delay between
   the click and the vanishing of the window is normal, gPS is killing
   its internal timer.
