- Short: 2 patches: ASL Library and PAL-NTSC screens
- Author: jcorig@strauss.udel.edu

- Type: util/misc
-
- What you have here are two little hacks I wrote to make life a little
- easier. Use them at your own risk ;^}
-
- PatchASL
- --------
-
- This little patch makes all ASL requesters open at the same height as
- the screen. With my 640 x 400 DblNTSC Workbench screen, I got real
- tired of programs opening little tiny file requesters.
-
-
- PatchPAL
- --------
-
- A pretty useless hack I wrote for a specific program. When I purchased
- SimLife, I was kinda bummed to see that it was PAL - I didn't want to
- have to reboot everytime I played the game. So, I wrote PatchPAL. What
- this does is that it tries to intercept all attempts to open PAL screens
- and does two things: sets the Diplay Clip to NTSC and sets the AutoScroll
- flag. So what happens is, the screen still gets opened at PAL resolution
- but you can use the mouse to scroll up and down. This works just fine
- for SimLife but won't work for: a) Programs that use OpenScreenTags
- instead of OpenScreen, b) Programs that use Graphics Library instead
- of Intuition (most games), and c) programs that don't use the mouse.
- Anyway, you might find a use for it.
