NAME

X ABACUS - Yet another X widget  

SYNOPSIS

xabacus [-display <display>] [-geometry <geometry>] [-bars <int>] [-spaces <int>] [-bead <color>] [-{background | bg} <color>] [-{foreground | fg} <color>] [-tnumber <int>] [-bnumber <int>] [-tfactor <int>] [-bfactor <int>] [-[no]torient] [-[no]borient]  

DESCRIPTION

One of the motivations of this abacus program is simplicity. This was originally a demonstration that I could write a window program.

Use "mouse-left" to move beads. Note you can move them faster by holding down the button and sweeping across beads. Use "mouse-right", "C",or "c" to clear. "Q", "q", or "CTRL-C" keys kill program.
