Personalize Your ST's GEM Desktop!
EASEL/ST lets you use any picture as the background of the GEM Desktop!
All ST Users!

as an ever-present bulletin board for reminders, calendars, nags,
and clip-art ... or you just enjoy a pleasing picture, you can't
afford to be without EASEL/ST!

Systems Houses!

on the desktop ... or even put their logo on the desktop!
FEATURES:
---------
* Operates in all resolutions; adapts to resolution changes automatically.
* Runs from the AUTO folder -- does not use a desk accessory menu slot.
* Compatible with all ST models; does not require TOS in ROM or a double-
sided diskette drive.
* Overrides the Control Panel to maintain the picture's original palette.
* Compatible with GDOS.
* Not copy-protected.
REQUIREMENTS:
-------------
* User must provide a D.E.G.A.S. or Neochrome format picture file of
matching resolution to each resolution in which the user intends to
operate (except for this free demo version, which contains its own
pictures and does not allow other pictures to be loaded).

**************************************************************************
This is the documentation from the free demonstration version of EASEL/ST,
which is identical to the $19.95 version, with the exception of the file
I/O logic. In other words, with this version, you're stuck with the inclu-
ded pictures -- if you buy the real thing, you can load any picture you
want! A picture is included for each resolution, which means that this
version takes a whopping 100K of memory. The regular version only loads
the files you want, and never more than two (one for each color resolu-
tion).
**************************************************************************
INSTALLATION:
-------------
Nothing to it. Just put EASELST.PRG into your AUTO folder on your boot
disk. If you don't use an AUTO folder, then create one using the "New
Folder..." option of the Desktop's File menu, and copy EASELST.PRG into the
new folder. NOTE: It's very important that EASELST.PRG be executed at boot
time from the AUTO folder, instead of being invoked from the Desktop or
from a shell. Also, once EASELST.PRG has been installed, do not invoke it
a second time.
