What is it?
===========

noice is a small ncurses-based file browser.
It was first developed to be used with a tv remote control for a media
center solution.


Getting started
===============

Get the latest version from the git-repository; build and install it.  Run
noice in a directory to display its content in the form of a list, where
each line is a file or directory.  The currently selected item will be
preceded with a " > " by default.

For more information refer to the manpage.


Building
========

To build noice you need a curses implementation available.  In most
cases you just do:

    make

It is known to work on OpenBSD, Arch Linux, Slackware, NetBSD, IRIX.  Some notes
for building on certain systems follow.

 * NetBSD:

    make LDLIBS="-lcurses"

 * IRIX:

    make CC="gcc" LDLIBS="-lgen -lcurses"
