REQUIREMENTS
 Any Amiga® (compatible) computer with at least OS3.5 and
 68020+ cpu.


DESCRIPTION
 WBCtrl allows you to control some undocumented features of
 the AmigaOS3.5 Workbench®.


USAGE
 The program can only be started from shell, the following
 options are provided:
 
 MCM=MAXCOPYMEM/N/K,IMT=IMAGEMEMTYPE/K,DN=DRAWERNOTIFICATION/S,
 G=GAUGE/S,R=REFRESH/S,Q=QUERY/S
 
 MCM=MAXCOPYMEM/N/K: will set the maximum number of bytes the
  file copy code will use. Some SCSI controllers (don't ask which:)
  are not able to transfer more 32k at once because of this the
  default setting is 65536 bytes (two buffers, each 32k).

 IMT=IMAGEMEMTYPE/K: when set to FAST or ANY, wb and icon.lib will
  use fastram for imagedata (p96/cgx or fblit required!). Use 
  CHIP for chipram. It's safe to use this option without p96/cgx
  as WBCtrl will check for an RTG system / fblit before actually
  performing the change. If you use fblit by Stephen Brookes,
  you should use ICONFAST instead of FAST to avoid problems
  with workbench.library. Last but not least WBFAST tells wb
  to use fastram for imagedata and resets icon.library to use
  chipram.

 DN=DRAWERNOTIFICATION/S: enable/disable drawer notification:
  "if enabled, Workbench will be notified of changes in every
   'Show all files' mode drawer. Every time a notification arrives,
   Workbench will reread the drawer." 

 G=GAUGE/S: disable/enable the Workbench volume fill gauges.
  Any open volume/root drawer window will *not* be updated. You
  must close them first.

 R=REFRESH/S: use this option in conjunction with G=GAUGE/S
  and WBCtrl will update the drawer windows for you. 
  
 Q=QUERY/S: show current settings.


INSTALLATION
 Copy the program to your C: directory.
