Its man page says:
Puff is intended for people who need text and graphics
displayed at a high magnification factor. Typically users
will want both the pointer and text to be tracked as they
work.
Puff follows the pointer (aka mouse), magnifying a part of
the screen under the cursor. In addition, puff can moni-
tor the X11 protocol of X clients and magnify the region
where graphics were last drawn. By monitoring a program
like xterm, puff can follow the text cursor automatically.
Puff switches focus between the pointer and graphics
depending on which was last active.
In order to track the protocol of X clients, puff sets up
a false server on the machine that it is executed on.
The magnification works for me, but the monitoring and following doesn't.
When I try the examples given in the man page, puff crashes. I've
appended the output of "truss puff" while I crash it by doing "xclock
-display 0:1" (I have FreeBSD 4.0 from 26 May, and XFree86 4.0). I'm
wondering whether the feature works for anyone else.
