xteddy is now installed in outland for sun, decmips, linux, and rs6k.
There is no manpage; the author describes the program thusly:
DESCRIPTION
xteddy is a cuddly teddy bear for your X Windows desktop.
Normally, xteddy just sits around doing nothing. After all, that's what
teddy bears are for. Look at him, talk to him, place heavy windows on
top of him, zap him around until he becomes dizzy, do what you like;
he will always be your true (albeit virtual) friend.
You can move xteddy with the mouse by pointing at him and dragging
him around. When clicked upon, he will pop up on top of all other
windows. If you type "q" on him, he will die (or, as I like to think
of it, be tucked away in the file system until you need him next time).
That's it. But he's cute.
xteddy comes up in a shaped-extended, override-redirect window. It's
not nice to try to xkill xteddy. :-)
xteddy can be easily customized by anyone who can edit xpm/xbm files
and use a C compiler. Specialized versions already exist. :-)
