CATPOINT: A terminal-based slide presenter

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I quit using PowerPoint long ago because I got tired of managing giant 
files and also dealing with templates, fonts, etc.  If I ever need to make 
slides with images and pretty fonts, I use a LaTeX template.

But for day to day use, I use Catpoint.  Catpoint is a text-based slide 
presenter that uses ncurses to present ordinary text files in a terminal 
window.  So you just create a set of text files, name them so they are sorted 
in the order that you want, and then execute catpoint with an argument 
telling it which files to load (e.g., /home/user/slides/*.txt).  Catpoint 
will then display the file in the terminal window. If you're presenting you 
simply increase the font size in your terminal program to make the slides 
easier to see.

I am not sure who created catpoint.  Here is a link to catpoint code hosted
by Lazaros Koromilas and Laslo Hunhold. You can get it via git or http...

Christoph Lohmann also has a git repo of catpoint code...

git clone git://r-36.net/catpoint

Christoph also has a project called pointtools which makes creating content
for catpoint much easier...

git clone git://r-36.net/pointtools
