Forrst Growl Notifier

Written by: Alex Holt [email protected]

General:

Will sit in the background and check forrst every 5 minutes for how many notifications the user has. Just requires the user's name to function.

Installation:

Drag the application into the applications folder. Run it.

It should prompt you for your forrst user name.. this will then be converted to a forrst id and stored in the file : ~/.forrst.user If you delete this file, it should ask you to enter your user again the next time you run it.

Requirements:

These should all be on your OSX system already.
