Initial import of autocue-20060128 into the Packages Collection.
autocue is a program which takes a simple text file as input, and outputs its contents, broken up into paragraphs, and formatted by fmt, into xcb's cut buffers. From there, the text can be pasted with a simple mouse click. autocue will then wait for a period of time relative to the size of the text, before moving onto the next paragraph. Successive cut buffers will be used, and then will wrap to the beginning. The speed can be varied whilst the program is running - by sending a SIGUSR1 to the process, autocue will go faster. Sending a SIGUSR2 to the process will make it go slower. This program can be used to scroll a presentation, along with timing information (a beep is sounded when the next buffer should be pasted), and the presenter can simply paste into the presentation window.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm autocue
+.Nd display text in X11 cut buffers timed depending on size of text
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl S Ar speed
+.Op Fl c Ar maxcut
+.Op Fl s Ar symbolic-speed
+.Op Ar
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility reads a text input file, and sends formatted output
+to the X11 cut buffers by using the
+.Ar xcb
+utility.
+.Nm
+will then wait for a period of time (dependent upon the speed
+settings), before sending the next paragraph of text to the next cut
+buffers.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width maxcuts
+.It Fl S Ar speed
+Takes a numeric value for speed, which is the number of characters
+per second that the text can be read.
+See also the
+.Ar s
+argument for some pre-defined rates.
+Slow readers can generally read at 3 characters per second, medium
+at 7 characters per second, and fast readers at 10 or more characters per
+second.
+.It Fl c Ar maxcut
+Provides the maximum number of X11 cut buffers whihc will be used.
+.It Fl s Ar speed
+Provides pre-computed
+.Ar fast ,
+.Ar medium and
+.Ar slow
+definitions for the speed.
+.Pp
+If
+.Nm
+is going too fast, then a SIGUSR2 signal
+delivered via
+.Xr kill 1
+will make it go one
+character per second slower.
+If
+.Nm
+is going too slowly, then a SIGUSR1 signal
+delivered via
+.Xr kill 1
+will make it go
+one character per second faster.
+.El
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+The
+.Nm
+utility exits 0 on success, and \*[Gt]0 if an error occurs.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr kill 1
+.Sh AUTHOR
+The
+.Nm
+was written by Alistair Crooks (agc@NetBSD.org).
