A little piece of program I wrote mainly for my own needs.
It reads and tries to understand text files containing
TV listings. It then keeps track of which TV programs are
on and shows them in a listview. Alternatively you can obtain
the same information using Whatson's ARexx interface.

The most practical use for this program is to download the
listings from the Internet with a program like GrabURL (get it from
Aminet) and convert them from HTML to ASCII with some other
program like httx (available on Aminet).

If you don't have the luxury of a permanent Internet connection
you could set up an ARexx script to automatically get the files
every time you go online...

Well as I said I made it mainly with myself in mind, so don't
expect any fancy docs etc.

Right now it's freeware (for personal use only) but the future of
the program is largely dependent on the feedback I get from other
users so please let me know what you think about it.

Send bug reports and feedback to freym@icon.fi.

History
=======

v 1.0 First release
v 1.1 Changed name of program from TVGuide to Whatson
      to make it more original and avoid confusion with
      comm/www/TVGuide.lha.
      Also added ARexx script to automatically get listings
      off the Internet.
