Hello,
this is a support program for MonSpecsMUI.
It scans entire DEVS:Monitors/ directory for .info files which contain
tooltypes saved with MonSpecsMUI and set these parameters system wide.

The format of these tooltypes is:

MODEID0=<HexID>       ; standard amiga mode id
NOMMINX0=<Integer>    ; minimum nominal overscan x value
NOMMAXX0=<Integer>    ; maximum nominal overscan x value
NOMMINY0=<Integer>    ; minimum nominal overscan x value
NOMMAXY0=<Integer>    ; maximum nominal overscan x value
MAXMINX0=<Integer>    ; minimum maximal overscan x value
MAXMAXX0=<Integer>    ; maximum maximal overscan x value
MAXMINY0=<Integer>    ; minimum maximal overscan x value
MAXMAXY0=<Integer>    ; maximum maximal overscan x value
VIDEOMINX0=<Integer>  ; minimum video overscan x value
VIDEOMAXX0=<Integer>  ; maximum video overscan x value
VIDEOMINY0=<Integer>  ; minimum video overscan x value
VIDEOMAXY0=<Integer>  ; maximum video overscan x value
VPRMINX0=<Integer>    ; minimum ViewPositionRange x value
VPRMAXX0=<Integer>    ; maximum ViewPositionRange x value
VPRMINY0=<Integer>    ; minimum ViewPositionRange y value
VPRMAXY0=<Integer>    ; maximum ViewPositionRange y value
VPOSX0=<Integer>      ; ViewPosition x value
VPOSY0=<Integer>      ; ViewPosition y value
MODEID1=...
NOMMINX1=...
and so on

The max values had to be always larger than the min values,
otherwise they are ignored.


START THIS PROGRAM ONLY AFTER THE MONITOR DRIVERS ARE STARTED.


If you encounter that this program doesn't work for you, try to
call SYS:Prefs/Overscan after it:

ChangeHWOverscan       ; user-startup
SYS:Prefs/Overscan USE ; user-startup

or call it twice (first before IPrefs, second after IPrefs)
like this: (NOT RECOMMENDED)

; not recommended, try second method first

ChangeHWOverscan ; startup-sequence
IPrefs           ; startup-sequence
ChangeHWOverscan ; user-startup

(Thanks must go to Martin Hilpert for the bug report)
