itz> A sneak preview of gim is available at

itz> http://www.speakeasy.net/~itz/hacks/gim-0.9.1.tar.gz

itz> gim is a replacement for gpm, the classic linux mouse
itz> multiplexor.  Unlike gpm, it doesn't speak the native protocols
itz> of mice; instead, it uses gii (the General Graphics Interface
itz> input library) to get mouse input.  Thus, gii is a prerequisite
itz> for gim.

itz> I consider the code in this snapshot complete, except for
itz> bugfixes.  Testing is appreciated.  One thing that needs to be
itz> completed before a public release is documentation.  I know about
itz> that and will be working on it.

Now up to 0.9.2, in the same place.  The addition is a simple C++
interface for clients (in the libgim subdirectory of the
distribution).  Docs are still missing...
