- What is Cascade?
- ================
-
- Cascade is a program I wrote to clean up the Workbench drawer windows. When
- run, it will recursively search a given drive, and automatically adjust the
- position of any Workbench drawer windows to fit snugly inside its parent.
-
- Cascade requires OS 2.0, V36 or greater. If you experience problems, try
- increasing your stack size, although I doubt anyone will ever run into
- problems.
-
-
- How do I run Cascade?
- =====================
-
- You type "Cascade" followed by the name of the partition to clean up. If you
- specify no partition, it will assume SYS: (the drive you booted from) and
- begin cleaning it up. Here's an example line:
-
- 1.SYS:> Cascade Work:
-
- Note that the Workbench screen MUST be open for Cascade to do its thing,
- because it needs to know some information about the screen in order to set the
- window positions properly.
-
- The optional keyword "FORCE" will force Cascade to continue processing in
- the event of an error. This is useful for timed scripts or other automated
- use. The optional keyword "ICON" will cause Cascade to position the windows
- to line up with its icon, rather than the location of its parent window. Feel
- free to experiment, you can't break anything!

-
- Wow, this is great! Where do I send donations?
- ===============================================
-
- I hope you find this useful. My primary goal is to help all us Amiga fans
- live a healthier, happier, more care-free life. But I will not turn away any
- donations any kind souls wish to make. I'm currently paying off a new Amiga
- 3000, and I would appreciate any help with that! :-)
