WBLace 3.0
-------------
This program will change the resolution of the WorkBench screen from a
640x200 screen to a 640x400 screen and vice-versa. (or any other resolution
if you're using overscan.) This has the same effect as changing the
WorkBench Interlace setting in Preferences and rebooting.
As this program attempts to close the WorkBench screen and then reopen it
again, there must not be any windows on the WB screen that belong to a
program other than WorkBench at the time the program is activated, including
the CLI. If there is a program active on the WB screen, the program will
open a window complaining of the fact, and then quits after a short while.
To use this program just double-click its icon from the WorkBench. It
cannot be run from the CLI. If you double-click it once, and it has no
effect, then double-click it again.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Version 3.0 Update Notes:
-------------------------
Now the program has two versions:
- WBLace is the normal version.
- WBLaceS is a smaller version that doesn't complain if it can't
do its job.
Included with the program are three small programs:
- Clock: This opens a small window that displays the time.
- RAM: The same except this displays Chip and Fast memory.
- C-RAM: This displays both ram and the clock.
The special thing about those programs is that they know about WBLace,
and they will shut down their windows temporarily when WBLace tries to
close the WorkBench. WBLace 3.00 sends a message to all three programs
telling them to shut down for three seconds.
If you use 'Disk Storage' Version 4.00 or higher, (by the same author)
WBLace will also tell it to close its window. If you haven't got it, you
should get it! (guess what, a plug) It's in the AmigaForum on Compuserve,
DL13 as STORG4.ARC.
If anyone would like to make their programs compatible with WBLace,
(i.e. close their windows when WBLace runs) please easyplex me on
75166,2531 and I'll give you the source code fragment that will show you
how to do it.
Known Bugs:
-----------
- Currently WBLace cannot deal with multiple invocations of Clock, RAM,
C-RAM, and Disk Storage.
- WBLace (the large version) gurus when used with HandyIcons. The
small version does not, and, in fact, works very well with HandyIcons.
