DESCRIPTION
       Nezd  is	 a general-purpose messaging and notification program for X11,
       desigend	to be scriptable in any	language and integrate well with  win-
       dow  managers  like  dwm,  wmii and xmonad though it will work with any
       windowmanger.

       Nezd expects the	status message on its standard input, and uses a  cus-
       tom formatting language for colors and several other features (like bar
       meters  and such). See README for detailed usage	and scripting instruc-
       tions.
