SizeShell 1.1

Description
-----------
ShellSize offers you the possibility to drag and size your shell-window
befor it is open. This is very useful when using large workbench screens
with many windows on it.
When invoking a shell, shellsize will first draw a box that can be moved
and sized after pressing and holding the left mousenutton. When it ist re-
leased, the shell window will open in desired size and position.
Unfortunately it doesen`t look too good, especially on screens with back-
ground pattern. Maybe I will change this in future.
Installation
------------
Just click on the install-icon and all will be done for you.
You will instantly profit of SizeShell`s features!! :)
How does it work?
-----------------
After having positioned the box, four environement variables will be set.
SHELLX, SHELLY, SHELLWIDTH, SHELLHEIGHT
After that, the newshell command is started with these dimensions as para-
meter. That`s it. Not very tricky, but it works fine.
Copyright
---------
SizeShell is Freeware. Copy it and use it as you want. And if you like it,
send me an e-mail and I`ll be happy.
Bugs
----
Yes, there is a little bug in SizeShell. Sometimes the box isnt`t erased
comletely when sizing or moving. I don`t know why and I even don`t care
about it.
History
-------
V1.0 ... I`m so sorry... V1.0 didn`t work at all.. forget it
V1.1 no technical change since V1.0 but now it will be correctly installed
