HomerGotchi Update
------------------
Wow,you're reading the manual! Don't worry,it's short!
BTW You still need the HomerGotchi.lha archive in
Aminet...game/gag! Just replace the HomerGotchi file
in that archive with this one.
This version checks the size of the font you're using,
well,kind of...gotta set it in the tooltypes (see below).
It just means that he appears in the right place if you're
using a large font.
It also now does some /very/ simple checking to see if it's
gonna go off-screen as well.Just don't position it right
at the edge of your screen and you should be OK.
Finally,I think I may have included an older version of the
source in the last upload (DOH!),so the latest is in here,too.
The New Tooltype...
-------------------
You MUST set the new tooltype,FONTSIZE.
This is given the height of your screen font,
so that Homer can work out how to stay in his window.
eg FONTSIZE=8
FONTSIZE=24
Or whatever....
(I can't be bothered reading the OS docs ;)
Oh,and while you're changing that,change REQUESTER to "no",or you'll
keep getting the requester!
Thanks

Thanks to Olaf W.Krafft and Meni Berman for the gfx card reports!
Apparently,HomerGotchi works with both CGFX and P96...
...which is nice :)
That's it,
Happy Homering....or something,

had enough of seeing that damn source ;)
