- Reverse - A Desk Accessory to invert black and white in a window.

- For reasons that are best left obscure, I needed to be able to
- make Red Ryder temporarily write white on black. So I wrote this
- DA. When you select it from the DA menu, it inverts whichever
- window is foremost. Until you select it again, any drawing in that
- window will be white on black, instead of the usual black on
- white. Select Reverse again, and it removes its effect from the
- window. In fact, it tries to be intelligent enough to completely
- remove its effects and itself. It can be used on several windows
- at once.
-
- This ought to work with most "reasonable" programs. I can think
- of any number of ways to defeat it, but any program that does its
- drawing through the usual means, and doesn't muck around with the
- low-level drawing routines too much, should be happy.
-
- So, for those of you nostalgic for those old-fashioned white on
- black displays, or anyone else who can think of a use for this,
- here it is.
