Short: V.9 the warp engine for the Workbench

WBStars V.9 preview.
This program plots some stars in the background
of the Workbench-Screen, to make it look like a
window of a starship flying with warp-speed.
Of course these stars are animated (it´s not only
a background-pattern ;) .
It is only a preview, so there are some important
things missing, that will be done soon:
- preferences file ( to change number, speed and direction
of the stars)
- no background-erasing
- rewritten star-calculation (original ST spectrum-effect)
- writing some documentation
- preferences editor (with ST-TNG GUI as in the IFF-picture)
- speed increase
- GURU-safeness (perhaps... ;)
How to start this preview:
- save every important data in your memory to disk, to prevent the loss of data !
- Activate the `backdrop' option of the Workbench !
- Select pen # 2 as background color or you can´t see anything!
(you may use the included `wbpattern.pre' with the SYS:Prefs/WBPattern program)
- Use a MagicWB-like palette-preferences
(as the included `palette.pre')
(may also look very interesting if you don´t :)
- Start WBStars by doubleclicking, typing `WBStars' in a CLI,
or copying it into SYS:WBStartup and rebooting
- enjoy.. ;)
To end this program you should use the program `Exchange' as described
in your Amiga-manuals.
IMPORTANT !!! If you close the Workbench window while WBStars is running,
you can´t terminate it anymore, and you may cause a GURU !!!
The Workbench window is closed (and reopened) too, if you deactivate
the `backdrop' option, or if you change the preferences of the WB-Screen!
If you like this program write me an E-mail, and if
you don´t like it write too.
