Tapestry -- Version 1
Copyright 1989 Joe Hitchens, All Rights Reserved.
Permission is given to distribute this software and
attached data files freely, so long as the entire package
is left intact and unaltered, and no profit is made from the
transaction.
Tapestry is a little utility for attaching a pretty picture (or ugly if
you prefer) to your normal workbench display. Any 1 bitplane (2 color) IFF
picture can be loaded, though you may want to use one which has roughly the
same dimenstions and pixel aspect ratio as your Workbench screen.
Tapestry (Version 1) is only usable from the CLI. I normally have it
run as a background process from my startup-sequence. Usage is as follows:
1> tapestry picfile
or
1> run tapestry picfile
The "picfile" parameter is required.
If the first usage is used, a ^C will exit tapestry. If the second usage
is used, the BREAK command can be used to exit tapestry. If no usage is
used, ^C or BREAK will not be necessary.

Look for these features in Version 2 of Tapestry.
* 2 bitplane images (will use still more CHIP memory, beware)
* Repeating images. This will allow a small brush ILBM to be used and
repeated in a tile pattern to fill the entire screen.
* Icon launch.
