- Flipside is a tiny little PD utility (would be much smaller
- in ASM, but what the heck, source is included if someone
- wants to do it). Its job is simply to flip between public
- screens when the middle mouse button is pressed, for those
- who don't want to run MCP, MCX or anything big like that just
- to do this job.
-
- Just put it into the WBStartup drawer (or your user-startup,
- if you prefer, you weirdo), and send it a ctrl-c command to
- quit (use XOpa [hit Task, Signal, OK] or similar).
-
- The only drawback is that you can't run it alongside other
- programs that make use of the middle mouse button. But there
- aren't exactly many of those...
-
- It was written in Blitz (great language once you know what NOT
- to do!) because several people pointed out that there didn't seem
- to be anything similar available (!).
-
- As for the name, the only relevant part is the "Flip" part - the rest
- just sounds good (and it's a Breeders tune :)
-
- Thanks to Patrick (tracerb) and all those who risked their lives
- testing it :)
-
- "Enjoy"...

- History
- -------
-
- 1.0 - ?
-
- 1.1 - Aminet Release
-
- 1.2 - Fixed a bug that showed up on GFX cards. CPU loop occured.
- Now works with GFX cards and AGA/ECS/OCS
- - Program Priority is set to 2. Higher than most apps run at.
- That way you can flip screens as screens as fast as you want,
- even while rendering! :)
