wmpccard - PCcard monitor for FreeBSD + PAO

SYNOPSIS
wmpccard [-a alias-file] [-d display] [-f font] [-h] [-s slot-number] [-t] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
wmpccard is PCcard slot monitor for FreeBSD + PAO, running as Dock application for WindowMaker. This program displays a name of a PCcard inserted in a card slot of your PC, and it can also activate and inactivate the PCcard.

To use the program, pccardd must be running on your PC. wmpccard communicates with pccardd to get slot status and control PCcards.

The wmpccard's window consists of two text area and two buttons:

slot number area
    The slot number area is located at the bottom of the window, and right to the two buttons. It shows a slot number that wmpccard currently displays its state.

slot button
    The slot button is next to the slot number area. It switches the current slot that wmpccard monitors.

slot name area
    The slot name area occupies the upper and middle of the window. It displays status of the current slot. If a card is inserted in the slot and it is active, a name of the card is displayed. If a card is inserted but not active, the message "inactive" is displayed. If a card is not inserted, the message "empty" is displayed.

power button
    This is toggle button. The power button of sunken state means that a card is inserted in the current slot and it is active. If you press the button, the button's state is turned to flat and the card becomes inactive. If you press the button again, the card state is returned to active, and the button goes back to sunken. (Changing the card state may takes a while.) You cannot press the button when the current slot is empty.
