FrontPub    1.1    Frontmost screen becomes def public scr

FrontPub is a small utility that automatically declares the frontmost
screen to be the default public screen provided the frontmost is actually
a public screen.  Together with the global public screen mode 'SHANGHAI'
enabled all windows that normally open on the workbench screen will now
open on the new default public screen.  (Because FrontPub would not be
very useful with a disabled 'SHANGHAI'-mode, it will be switched on at
program start). It uses a verticalblank-interrupt server to monitor
Intuition's frontscreen.  All other accesses and (possible) changes are
done by the main program. Currently FrontPub does not support any arguments.

Features:

 - is a commodity, so it can be disabled/enabled/ended at any time
 - exits if CTRL-C was received
 - amount of needed cpu-time is negligible
 - pure, can be made resident (not very useful though)
