+opie-remote
+
+Opie-remote is a remote control emulator for the Compaq iPaq and the Sharp 
+Zaurus. It requires lirc (http://www.lirc.org) to run. There are lirc ipkgs 
+for the iPaq in the Handhelds.org feed. You must first install the
+lirc-modules-[kernel version] ipkg, and then the lirc ipkg with the
+-force-depends option. The Zaurus is supported, but requires you to compile 
+from lirc's CVS. Zaurus support should be in lirc 0.6.6 and up. Check the learn
+tab in opie-remote for more detailed configuration and usage instructions.
+
+I will talk to the Open Zaurus people about providing an lirc ipkg for the
+Zaurus, but i cant make one, as i dont have a Zaurus, and cannot test it.
+
+todo:
+add a frontend for irrecord (to make it a true learning remote)
+make the UI completely user configurable (button layout, position, etc)
+ButtonDialog needs to support default remote and button settings, so what the
+button is already set to shows up.
+fix any bugs
+
+contact info:
+thomas: spiralman@softhome.net (currently the only developer)
+im also on #opie and #handhelds.org on irc.openprojects.net a lot, so look for 
+me there.
