This program and it's associated files may be freely distributed.  I do retain 
the copyright, however.  When you do share this program, please be sure to 
include all five files:
      .  PANEL          This is the Control Panel NDA main program
      .  GENERAL.CP     This is the definition file for the GENERAL module
                        of the Control Panel.
      .  INPUT.CP       This is the def file for the INPUT module.
      .  SLOTS.CP       This is the def file for the SLOTS module.
  (the above files should all be placed in the SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS folder on
  your boot disk)
      .  PANEL.DOC      This file.

The source code for the modules are available separately.  Please feel free to 
examine, modify, or add new modules to the Control Panel.  That's what the 
source code is for.  If you create a new section, or significantly modify an 
existing one and would like to have it included with the standard package, 
please contact me at the address given below.  (If you did not get source code 
for the supplied modules with the object code, try looking on Compuserve or 
BIX, or contact me at any of the sources below.)


                          USING THE CONTROL PANEL NDA

For the most part, the use of the Control Panel is self-explanatory.  A few 
areas need a little clarification, however.

 . To use the Control Panel NDA, copy the main program (PANEL), and all of the 
modules (currently GENERAL.CP, INPUT.CP, and SLOTS.CP) into the 
SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS subdirectory of your startup disk and reboot your system.  The 
Control Panel NDA will be accessible from any "desktop" application that sup-
ports new desk accessories (via the colored-Apple menu).

 . The Control Panel NDA is intended to be used in 640-mode only.  This 
restriction may be lifted later.  Use in 320-mode will not hurt anything, but 
it looks pretty bad.  (If the Control Panel window looks REALLY big, and only 
part of it is visible on the screen, you are probably using a program in 
320-mode.)

 . The Control Panel starts up with the GENERAL module selected.  To change to 
another module, just click on an icon on the left side of the Control Panel 
window.  If there are more than 4 modules available, you can use the scroll bar 
to scroll the icon list.

 . To select you desktop color, click on the white rectangle part of the 
desktop color control.  The lower rectangle will then cycle through the colors 
available.  When the color you want shows, click on the colored rectangle to 
change the desktop color.

   Note: Some programs (such as the FINDER) draw their own desktop
         pattern, so it cannot be changed using the Control Panel.  If
         this is the case, clicking the color square will cause a beep
         instead of changing the background.

 . At this time, changing slots in the SLOTS module does not affect the current 
slot settings - they will change next time you startup the system, just with 
the CDA Control Panel.

 . You cannot currently edit either the date or time, only change their display 
display format.


                         CONTROL PANEL VERSION CHANGES

 . VERS 2.0: Version 2.0 marked the appearance of modules in the Control Panel.
 . VERS 2.1: Version 2.1 fixed a bug in the module loading and unloading,
             which caused module memory to be improperly disposed of.
             It added a number of new interface requirements to the
             module headers, including a run period and shutdown and activate
             calls.
             It also added a blinking caret to the cursor flash rate for
             better user feedback.
