DOCS:

Line thing is a multitasking demo which is intended to run in
WB 1.2 interlace screen. (I'm not sure what it'll do if it is
run in a medium res screen.) A few lines appear and move around
the screen in a backdrop borderless window. Note that the
workbench icon screen is also a backdrop borderless window, so
this program must be run from the CLI by a 'Run Line-Thing'. You
will only be able to see Line-Thing if you have some space
on your WB screen that is not taken up by a window. The more space,
the better.

Line-Thing takes only a few K bytes and uses only a few percent
of the 68000 CPU time, so it can be run with most anything, as
compared to the standard workbench LINE and BOXES demos which
grab all the CPU time and will slow any interactive tasks to
a virtual crawl. It makes a good multitasking demo, and the file
size is around 1/10 that of the workbench demos.

I have also re-written the workbench line and boxes demos to
use only a few percent of the CPU time, and these new versions
are included herein. It is possible to run 5 or 10 line or boxes
demos, and still get decent performance out of a text editor!
(Try that one with the standard demos!) I suggest that these
demos be used in place of the standard ones to demonstrate
Amiga Multitasking to any poor souls with MACS, IBMs, etc.
