1. INTRODUCTION
===============

This is the Rub v2.0.2 port for OS/2 and eComStation.

Rub is intended to be a prompt and simple notifier on rss feeds.
It just shows the message either in a system tray popup or in a built-in window (see below). 
If you click on the cross, the window closes and all message are marked as read. That's all. 
You can click on the arrow to follow the link to the article. 
Rub is currently available for Ubuntu (its intended use) but also for Windows and OS2.
