- WBLace 3.0
- -------------
-
- This program will change the resolution of the WorkBench screen from a
- 640x200 screen to a 640x400 screen and vice-versa. (or any other resolution
- if you're using overscan.) This has the same effect as changing the
- WorkBench Interlace setting in Preferences and rebooting.
-
- As this program attempts to close the WorkBench screen and then reopen it
- again, there must not be any windows on the WB screen that belong to a
- program other than WorkBench at the time the program is activated, including
- the CLI. If there is a program active on the WB screen, the program will
- open a window complaining of the fact, and then quits after a short while.
-
- To use this program just double-click its icon from the WorkBench. It
- cannot be run from the CLI. If you double-click it once, and it has no
- effect, then double-click it again.
-
- Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

- Version 3.0 Update Notes:
- -------------------------
-
- Now the program has two versions:
- - WBLace is the normal version.
- - WBLaceS is a smaller version that doesn't complain if it can't
- do its job.
-
-
- Included with the program are three small programs:
-
- - Clock: This opens a small window that displays the time.
- - RAM: The same except this displays Chip and Fast memory.
- - C-RAM: This displays both ram and the clock.
-
- The special thing about those programs is that they know about WBLace,
- and they will shut down their windows temporarily when WBLace tries to
- close the WorkBench. WBLace 3.00 sends a message to all three programs
- telling them to shut down for three seconds.
-
- If you use 'Disk Storage' Version 4.00 or higher, (by the same author)
- WBLace will also tell it to close its window. If you haven't got it, you
- should get it! (guess what, a plug) It's in the AmigaForum on Compuserve,
- DL13 as STORG4.ARC.
-
- If anyone would like to make their programs compatible with WBLace,
- (i.e. close their windows when WBLace runs) please easyplex me on
- 75166,2531 and I'll give you the source code fragment that will show you
- how to do it.
-
-
- Known Bugs:
- -----------
-
- - Currently WBLace cannot deal with multiple invocations of Clock, RAM,
- C-RAM, and Disk Storage.
-
- - WBLace (the large version) gurus when used with HandyIcons. The
- small version does not, and, in fact, works very well with HandyIcons.
