+This mini-program is mainly intended for debugging powwow.
+It is completely standalone, and needs to be called with a file-name
+(example: `follow mycapture').
+Hitting ESC or ^C quits `follow', hitting RETURN prints the next line
+of the file, any other key prints the next character (only one) of the file
+
+I know it is a _stupid_ program, but it is useful if you find screen-related
+bugs in powwow, i.e. powwow does not print some lines or prints something
+wrong.
+In that case, if you redirect powwow output to a file and reproduce the bug,
+you can use `follow your-filename' to examine the file and see what is wrong
+
+How to send a copy of powwow output to a file:
+powwow your-arguments | tee your-filename
+
