michael@1:The as-gui application tracks the time a person spends on a number of michael@1: predefined tasks. This is the graphical client to the Accounting System michael@1: server (AS). Although the two can interact through means of interprocess michael@1: communication mechanisms, as-gui is a generic stand-alone tool which can be michael@1: used with no AS server.
michael@1:When logging to a local file, as-gui takes input and waits until receiving michael@1: a save request from the user. Then, the time sheet will save its data entries michael@1: to the associated file name (as shown in the title bar).
michael@1:Logging to a remote AS server follows a similar input scheme, but at least michael@1: one AS server must be specified in the preferences. A simple 'syncronize michael@1: with server' operation does the rest.

michael@1:The following X11 options are passed directly to the X11 subsystem, and michael@1: allow for the typical customization of a X11 application.
michael@1:michael@1:
michael@1:The following Qt options are used when rendering the graphics of the Qt michael@1: widget library. They are not compatible with other X11 or Win32 applications, michael@1: unless they were first linked with the Qt widget library.
michael@1:michael@1:
michael@1:USER The user name to use when accounting.
HOME The full path of the user's home directory.
michael@1:
michael@1:0 The application exited sucessfully.
>0 or <0 At least one error ocurred.

michael@1:Try out some of these examples to customize as-gui from the command michael@1: line. Remember that options can be mixed.
michael@1:Initially editing the document 'figo.as':
michael@1:
$ as-gui figo.as
Showing lovely blue shades in most widgets:
michael@1:
$ as-gui -bg lightblue -fg darkblue
Starting with a title bar that reads 'Yours here':
michael@1:
$ as-gui -title 'Yours here'

michael@1:Sometimes a click on a widget (like a toolbar button) is seemingly ignored.
michael@1:Consistent row shading is not always maintained. This means that the sharp michael@1: colour difference between one row and the next may not correctly follow the michael@1: chosen sort order. Press 'refresh' to work around this problem.
michael@1:The row highlight may be wrong after resorting the entire time sheet. Press michael@1: the arrow keys a few times to find the currently selected row if this happens.
michael@1:Double clicking on column separators should automatically expand or shrink michael@1: the corresponding column to the exact size needed. Broken.
michael@1:Local reports only take datewise sorting into account. Attention! This is not michael@1: a bug, and local reports are almost always only useful when sorted by date.
