Replicants
Q: How can I make a replicant?
A: You have to enable "Show Replicants" in the Be/Zeta menu to activate the Dragger which will be drawn at the bottom right corner of the friss window. Now click it and drag the frame to a free space on your desktop.
Q: How can I remove the replicant?
A: Right click on the Dragger and select "Remove".
Preferences
Q: How can I edit feeds?
A: Select a feed in the preferences window and its properties will be displayed in the text controls. You can type in a new URL for example. But it is important to click on "edit" after you're ready to save the changes to this item.
Misc
Q: On what BeOS versions does it run?
A: It's been tested with the following version:
There have been reports that it will also run on Zeta.
Q: Is there support for other programs than "fortune"?
A: Not yet. Fortune is (for now) the only program whose output is piped into friss.
For testing purposes, there is also possibility to load local files, just enter "file://" before the filename, e.g
file:///boot/home/www/recent.rdf
Yes, that's three slashes. Two belong to the indentifier and the rest is the path.
