Release version 1.4 with fixes for non-supported APM BIOS features.

Introduction Begin

This utility is a simple Tcl/Tk script to show the battery status of portable computers running Linux and X-Windows. It displays a small widget on the corner of the screen showing the battery lifetime and power status.

It optionally displays a warning window when the remained power is reaching a critical level.
