** Important Layout Notes **
layout.gadget is a 68000 binary with V37 support code in it. This means that
it will work on any machine with at least OS 2.04 in it. However, because
Intuition V37 does not support some features layout.gadget uses, it has to
kludge a few things. These kludges are contained within an OS version check,
so they will not be used on a V39 machine. Obviously this can slow things
down a bit. Please note the kludges are OS LEGAL and well tested.
To rectify that, layout.gadget.020 is a 68030 optimised version that requires
V39. It will refuse to work on a V37 machine. However, it WILL work on a 68020,
regardless of being optimised for a 68030. Because it requires V39, it also
uses Exec memory pool functions directly instead of the linked lib versions.
This is another why it is faster.
In short: if you have 68000 or 68010, OR if you have OS 2.04 or 2.1, you have
to use layout.gadget. If you have 68020 or better and OS 3.0 or 3.1, you can,
and should, use layout.gadget.020. The V37 version will work just like the V39
version would, but it is a tad slower. You do want all the speed you can get,
don't you?
