Usage

The program can be directly started from the Workbench or
by typing "wf [options]" in a shell-window.

Most operations can be done both using the mouse and the keybord.
There are no menus because the AGA-hardware is too slow to
render pulldown-menus on a screen with 32 or more colors.
But 16...64 colors are recommended using the preview-function
which is one of the major features of the program.
The other reason is the fact that Wildfire has too many
functions (about 120 windows containing about 1600 gadgets)
to put them into menus without a very complex hierarchy.
