    This is a small program that a friend asked me to write for him.  I
   thought that other Amiga users may find it handy so I have included it
   for MegaDisc.

FUNCTION :-  Automatically parks a given drive, to a given cylinder number
	     at given time intervals. Useful for safeguarding your hard
	     drive (from moving or bumping).

    The program spawns its own process and installs an EventHandler that
   parks the given drive at a specifed cylinder at given intervals.
   Because it spawns its own process it does not require RUN or RUNBACK
   when loading it, it will automatically return the command line and
   allow that CLI process to close when an 'endcli' command is given.

USAGE FROM CLI :- AutoPark

USAGE FROM CLI :- Double click the icon.


    When the program is launched it will open a small window in the middle
   of the screen.  In this window you are able to tell the program which
   drive you wish to AutoPark, which cylinder to park it at, and how long
   a delay between parking.  If available drive 'DH0:' will be shown as a
   default in the 'DRIVE' gadget, and its maximum cylinder+1 will be shown
   in the 'PARK' gadget.  If this drive is not available then these two
   gadgets will be blank, for you to fill in.  The default time interval
   is 120 seconds.  Any of these gadgets can be edited simply by clicking
   in the gadget and editing the contents then pressing enter when
   finished.  When all editing is complete click the 'OK' gadget and the
   program will then install an EventHandler to perform the function at
   the required time interval.  If the 'CANCEL' gadget is clicked then the
   program will exit.  If all goes well you will see a small window open
   on the title bar with the text 'AutoPark by Nic Wilson' in it.  You
   will see that this window has a CloseGadget attached to it, This allows
   you to completely remove the EventHandler and all AutoParking will
   cease.

    NOTE :- If you have a single hard drive that has been partitioned into
   more than one device, then the program must only be used once, by using
   the drive name of the first partition and selecting a park cylinder
   value of the maximum cylinder your particular drive has.
