Help for !PalChange
-------------------
What is it?
-----------
This little app will produce coloured scale 16 colour palette file. ie.
like a grey scale, but with other colours....Black -> Colour -> White
usually, although you can change the white so for eg. you could have
Black -> Green -> Cyan.
Well, just have a go! :)
How to Use
----------
Run the application, and an icon will appear on the icon bar, though you
might get a message (which will disappear after 5 seconds) if you are not
in a 256 (or greater) screen mode - (but it will work in less). Clicking
on this icon brings up a window where you can click and drag to your hearts
content to get the shade you require. You can click on either the colour
bar, or the palette.
Just a few things to know though:-
The "Lock" button will keep the "Top" values locked to the opposite of the
"Shade" bars - to keep things constant - when not selected, the bars are
fully independent.
"Inv" will invert the Input values, ie not the palette itself, the palette
can be inverted with the Invert button on the Output stage.
The two arrows next to the palette are the Lighter and Darker controls.
The "Save" button bring up a standard save window, which can be dragged to
a filer or another application - although !Paint seems to have a problem
with this, but on testing (dragging the palette file from the Palette utility
to it) it seems that this is a !Paint problem not this program :-) )
Thanks
------
Big Big thanks to Zappo (as always) for his invaluable help in helping me
realise this program, and anyone else on #acorn who tested/commented/bug
reported on it for me.

Notes
-----
The !RunImage file is squashed as it proved to substantially increase the
speed of its task, but the source code is available on request.
