potatoe 0.4
-----------

Potatoe is a system for fetching TV program listings from the web and
viewing them off-line in Emacs or as HTML files. Its advantages over
viewing the listings directly on the web are

  * it's faster
  * it provides filtering features in Emacs
  * you can view the listings off-line

Installation:

  * grab the Perl modules Digest-MD5, HTML-Parser, MIME-Base64, URI,
    libnet, libwww-perl from CPAN and install them
  * edit the station list in fetcher.pl to contain the stations you
    watch

Usage:

  You can create output files for Emacs and/or in HTML format. Create
  a directory in which to store the files and execute fetcher.pl with
  the --html and/or --emacs options. Example:

    fetcher.pl --html=/tmp/html

  generates HTML output in the /tmp/html directory. You can view it
  immediately by opening index.html in that directory.

  In order to view TV program listings in Emacs, read and follow the
  installation comments in potatoe.el. Once you have installed it,
  start it with M-x potatoe. It's best to read the documentation first
  (C-h f potatoe-mode).

Should you have any comments, contributions, questions, bug-reports or
feature requests regarding potatoe or any bones to pick with my, feel
free to mail me.
