PALETTE.DOC for
'PALETTE V1.1' by Randy Jouett & CJ Fruge. Freeware.
SYNOPSIS
From the cli, type "palette" or "run palette".
From WorkBench, double click on the icon.
Many thanks to Carolyn Sheppner (csheppner, BIX), whose source was
the source, and Charlie Heath (cheath, BIX) of microsmiths fame,
who wrote the first rendition of this program.
My amiga guru friend, rjouett (BIX), invited me to learn assembly
language. Well, this program taught me some stuff!!! I suppose I
bit off more than could be chewed, but with the eternal patience
and assistance of rj, I succeeded. One requirement for assembly
language I've found is pure, cussed stubbornness in the face of
guru meditations.
We removed the depth arranging gadget from the palette, so
users will not depth arrange it behind a backdrop, borderless
window in execute calls from application programs. (We could
not see a reason to depth arrange a color palette.) Hitting
the reset button will reset the colors as before, but will also
re-select color 0.
The program does not use command line arguements -- it will
always open on the first screen. By rolling the screen down in
any graphics application and typing 'palette' in the cli window
on the WorkBench screen, palette will open on the application
screen. You can then test the palette in all screen resolutions
and bitplanes the application supports.
This executable is freeware--use and abuse as you like. This
program is freely redistributable, as long this doc is included
with the program. Any commercial use of this program is
strictly frowned upon.
To keep the archive file small, we did not put the pre-assembled
Amiga include file. It will be necessary to include either
your own pre-assembled include file (if your assembler supports
it) or specify the necessary include files. "macros.i" was
put in the archive so the SYS call will work.
Note: All disclaimers pertinent to computer software in general
apply.

Version 1.10 now supports WorkBench startups and checks for
HAM, EXTRA HALF BRITE, or bitplanes greater than five and
exits gracefully instead of bombing Amy.
