DOTFILE(1)

NAME
dotfile - run the ``dotfile'' generator

SYNOPSIS
dotfile [ module ]

DESCRIPTION
Dotfile starts the dotfile generator program, a tool for configuring bash, elm, emacs, fvwm1, fvwm2, ipfwadm, procmail, rtin and tcsh. The configuration is done with check buttons entries, list boxes, etc. All the way there's lots of help, just press the right mouse button.

If invoked without any arguments, dotfile lists the available modules. Otherwise, the specified module generator is run.

You might also want to make it easier for some users to configure a program you've written. If so, this is a perfect tool for that.
