- Below is the original distribution msg Anson placed with "ScreenShift". I
- did nothing except shortening it and replaced that nasty "SS"... It's
- called "SM" now; sorry, I got this tooo late :-)
-
- The code is about half the size of '88, thanks John's work on Lettuce-C.
- Besides, "GO" crashes if you attempt to optimize it. Sorry, THAT's not my
- fault.

- ScreenShift
- ===========
-
- ScreenShift is a small program that allows you to adjust the position of
- the screen on your display, just like a well-known Preferences function.
- It is useful for the temporary changes which don't require loading all
- forty some odd kilbytes of Preferences. It is also useful for those who
- use 'morerow'ed (overscan screens) to get a look at the 'hidden' sections.
-
- ScreenShift may be started from either the WorkBench or CLI. The display
- may be move by either using the mouse and the proportional gadget or
- the cursor keys for fine tuning. The gadget's knob is the small box with
- an italic 'SS' written inside. To quit the program, either click on the
- window close gadget or press RETURN.
-
- The source code is PD and may be used in any way anywhere. You can even
- sell it, if you find anyone crazy enough to pay for it.
-
- Shortcomings: (what do you expect for a hack?)
- - doesn't save setting (simple addition to it)
- - no undo feature; WYSIWYG
