TwtView**************** Version 1.4 by Kenneth Udut -
  [email protected] January 26td, 2007 1.4 UPDATE: Now you can see
  your private messages! [and reply to them if you have
  TwitterSubmitter W32] 1.3 UPDATE: USING SED & UPDATED BATCH FILE
  FOR DETECTING/INTERPRETING XML INSTEAD OF WITHIN THE BASIC
  PROGRAM. NOW YOU CAN SEARCH FOR A PARTICULAR USERNAME!!! JUST
  TYPE u twittername* where twittername a valid, public Twitter
  screenname, and it will show you a text version of their
  homepage, including their timeline! README TwtView runs under
  Windows 32-bit systems which includes Win95, 98, NT, 2k, XP,
  etc. It's a combination of programs and scripts which work in
  tandem to allow you to easily view the public timeline and the
  timeline of you and your friends on Twitter.com without having
  to open a web browser. **** **** NOTE: IN THIS VERSION OF
  TWTVIEW, **** YOUR TWITTER USERNAME/PASSWORD --WILL-- BE STORED
  **** IN A TEXT FILE, ON YOUR HARD DRIVE WHICH MAY BE A ****
  SECURITY RISK FOR YOU.* THIS PROGRAM WORKS, BUT IT **** MAY HAVE
  SOME ROUGH EDGES THAT NEED SMOOTHING, AND **** THIS IS ONE OF
  THEM. **** Quick One-Time Setup instructions:
  ================================== NOTE: IF YOU ALREADY HAVE
  TwitterSubmitter W32, then you do not need to create C:\twtsub.
  It already exists. ALSO: YOU *CAN* RUN TwitterSubmitter W32 at
  the same time as Twtview, allowing you the ability to update
  your Twitter status as well as see the results! 1) Create a new
  directory on the C: drive called "twtsub" Go to command prompt.
  Type the following commands: C: CD \ MD twtsub 2) If you have
  not yet unzipped the files within, do so now, and save all of
  the files to C:\twtsub NOTE: IF YOU ALREADY HAVE
  TwitterSubmitter W32 installed, then it will ask if you wish to
  overwrite certain files. This is OKAY.* TwtView and Twitter
  Submitter W32 use a number of the same files, and they are
  identical and will remain so for some time. 3) Edit the text
  files called viewurl.txt and dirmess.txt in your favorite text
  editor. ***** THESE ARE THE FILEs THAT CONTAIN YOUR
  USERNAME/PASSWORD. ***** HANDLE WITH CARE AND DO NOT DISTRIBUTE
  WITH YOUR PASSWORD. 4) Replace USERNAME with your Twitter
  username 5) Replace PASSWORD with your Twitter password 6) Save
  the text file (to C:\twtsub) and close it. Setup is complete!
  Now to use the program: Run TWTVIEW.EXE You'll see something
  similar to the following [but in monospaced text]:
  ================================================= TwitterView
  1.4 by Kenneth Udut [email protected]
  =================================================
  pub********************* last 100 public timeline
  me************************* my timeline & friends
  1,5,10,15,20,25,30,50,75** last x public timeline u
  twittername***** view user's timeline-if public
  pm******************** view your private messages
  -------------------------------------------------
  quit******************************** exit program
  ------------------------------------------------- Type: pub and
  hit Enter and within a few seconds, you will be able to see the
  last 100 entries on the public timeline. Type: me and hit Enter
  and within a few seconds, you will be able to see the timeline
  of you and your friends. Typing 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50 or
  75 and pressing Enter will show you the lastest # of entries on
  the public timeline. NEW FOR 1.3: Typing u twittername where
  twittername is the screenname of a public Twitter user, will
  show you their homepage - similar to going to:
  http://twitter.com/twittername NEW FOR 1.4: Typing pm allows you
  to see your private messages! If you wish to reply, you can do
  so using Twitter Submitter W32 by typing D username message
  [example: D simplify3 hello ken!] Integration of the two
  programs is coming soon. TECHNICAL: TwtView 1.4 depends on
  several programs working together. Here's the required files,
  and what they all do. wget.exe -------- "GNU Wget is a free
  software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP,
  the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive
  commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron
  jobs, terminals without Xsupport, etc." This version of WGET
  comes from: http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/ Official WGET
  Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html sed.exe
  ------- Search & Replace utility, based upon unix utility of the
  same name. noexist.txt ----------- this is displayed if the
  username does not exist. viewurl.txt ----------- This is the
  potentially unsafer part of TwtView It contains your name and
  password for the Twitter API. The file contains a single line:
  http://USERNAME:[email protected]:80/statuses/friends_timeline.xml
  Where you will be replacing USERNAME with your Twitter.com
  username, and PASSWORD will be your password. dirmess.txt
  ----------- This is another potentially unsafe part of Twtview.
  It contains your name and password for the Twitter API.
  pubview.txt ----------- Contains the URL to access the public
  timeline through the Twitter API. It contains the single line:
  http://twitter.com:80/statuses/public_timeline.xml This file,
  unlike viewurl.txt, does NOT contain your username/password
  information, as it is unnecessary in order to view the public
  timeline. twtv_p.bat ---------- This batch file is called by
  TWTVIEW if you selected pub, or one of the #'s twtv_u.bat
  ---------- This batch file is called by TWTVIEW if you decided
  to lookup a particular twitter user's homepage/timeline.
  twtv_d.bat ---------- This batch file is called by TWTVIEW if
  you decided to take a look at your private messages. d.txt -----
  Temporary Session Cookie file created each time you send to
  Twitter. twtview.bas ---------- This is the
  JustBASIC/LibertyBASIC file that twtview.tkn is based on.
  twtview.tkn ---------- This is the Tokenized
  JustBASIC/LibertyBASIC file.* It's compiled to run faster than
  it would be to run the .BAS file above. unix2dos.exe
  ------------ This converts the resulting XML file produced by
  the Twitter API from its native Unix format into MS-DOS text
  format, which can be more easily read by TwtView. readme.txt
  ---------- You are here. twtview.exe ---------- This is the
  Runtime Module for JustBASIC 1.01, the version of the compiler I
  am currently using. Do not change this name, or the program will
  not be able to find twtview.tkn. vbas31w.sll vgui31w.sll
  voflr31w.sll vthk31w.dll vtk1631w.dll vtk3231w.dll vvm31w.dll
  vvmt31w.dll ------------- Files are required for the Runtime
  Module of JustBASIC to work properly. Let me know how the
  program is running (or not!) for you. Feel free to contact me at
  twitter.com/simplify3 or at [email protected]. Hope this works
  as well for you as it does for me!* Future updates will be
  forthcoming that will address concerns as they crop up. Kenneth
