About

I wrote this because I would often find myself losing signal on my wireless card in my laptop when I was sitting in various places. This shows me what my signal strength is, so that I know what position is a good one to have the laptop in. It's small, and fast, and only uses the X11 API.

Stripped, the compiled file size (on my slackware 8 system) comes to 10.5kbytes. Nice and tiny. =)

Enjoy, It's Free Software.
