- .short
- Frontmost screen becomes def public scr
- .description
- 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)
