--> Otak v 1.X.X

D E S C R I P T I O N : 
The main idea behind otak is to provide visual interface to programs
that don't have one, but need to take arguments that can be selected
from a list. For example, one can use it as an address book program in
connection with mutt or as a phone-book with sms-sending software or
even as a list of hosts to ssh or ftp to.

Entries in database can have several fields, and command associated
with each field.  By default name, e-mail, cell phone, home phone, 
home page and commentary fields are set up.  
However this can be changed, fields are defined by ,,stanzas'' (sections) 
in baseconfig file.  See the otakrc(5) man page for more info. 


C O M P I L A T I O N : 
To compile otak v 1.x.x you must have ncurses development libraries and
conflib development libraries installed.

S M A L L   F A Q* : 
Q: How to query all addresses when I press 'Q' in mutt?
A: Type "all" to the prompt.

Q: Can I mark multiple addresses in mutt after a query?
A: You can tag addresses with 't'. When ready, type ";m" (press first ';'
   and then 'm') and all tagged addresses will appear to your "To:"
   line.

Q: How to insert an address (or many) with otak when I'm forwarding
   a message in mutt? ("To:" and "Cc:" prompts)
A: When "To:" or "Cc:" prompt appears press ^t for query. (After query
   you can tag multiple addresses with 't')
