- WARNING
-
- Although this program is freely distributable (see COPYRIGHT below), I
- would appreciate if you take the time to write me a line or two (E-Mail
- please) if you are using any of my programs or if you have any kind of
- ideas or suggestions (This is not too much to ask, is it?). If you feel
- particularly generous, I would like to receive a disk with any useful
- programs you have written, preferrably with source. Thanks!

- DESCRIPTION
-
- WBLoc is a small screen hack that displays a "locator" on the Workbench
- screen, made up by a crosshair and a sprite with the coordinates of the
- active pixel. It is meant to be used to measure pixel distances and sizes
- of images in the WB screen. Although it isn't the most useful utility in
- the world, there are some interesting parts of the source code worth
- looking at. It works both under WB 1.3 and WB 2.0.
-
-
- OPTIONS
-
- usage: WBLoc (no options)
-
- The program may also be run from the Workbench by double clicking on the
- provided icon. It will open a small window on the Workbench screen, and
- wait until its window becomes active. Whenever the window is active, the
- crosshair will be drawn on the Workbench screen, tracking the mouse
- position, and the mouse pointer will be changed to something like:
-
- ------
- -> 999 = horizontal distance from left
- |
- V 999 = vertical distance from top
- ------
-
- If you activate another window, the locator will disappear, but WBLoc's
- window will remain there, until it is reactivated. To remove the program,
- activate the window and click the right mouse button.
-
-
- BUGS
-
- WBLoc locks the WB screen while the crosshair is being drawn, and this
- may be a source of deadlocks, although in normal conditions no problems
- have been detected.
