FixPrefs 1.1 6-Feb-94 by Nils Petersen
======================================

This program is NO Public Domain!

The user assumes all responsibilities for any damage this software might
cause by function or malfunction.

It's Freeware, you can copy it and pass it on as long as the following
conditions are met:

- the disk MUST NOT cost more than $3 US and the CD MUST NOT cost more than
	$15 US, Fred Fish has permission to distribute it in his AmigaLibDisk
	series, furthermore it may be distributed via Aminet.
- all files must be kept together:
	FixPrefs.readme (this file)
	FixPrefs.asm (Assembler source)
	FixPrefs (executable, 304 bytes)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have a boot piccy installed on your hard disc you know the
problem: When IPrefs starts up, the screen jumps a bit up and to the left,
depending on your overscan settings. Most people say there's no clean
workaround ...

No problem, as Kick >=2.0 still uses the file DEVS:system-configuration,
that contains overscan information (even when Kick <=1.3 couldn't use it).
This file is parsed as soon as the Amiga boots and the settings are active
before the boot pic is loaded.

FixPrefs 1.1 solves the quirk problem by writing the 2.0 settings to this
1.3 system-configuration - with a 304 bytes executable! Amiga makes it
possible.

Usage:
Call FixPrefs once after setting overscan and your done. There are no
parameters needed. CAUTION! The original file will be lost. If you want to
keep it (?), rename, move or copy it before using FixPrefs.


Written for Günther to demonstrate, how neat Amiga OS is. Version 1.0
written in C, V 1.1 in Assembler. (I know it's ugly, but I hate 6.5K C
programs...)

Known Bugs: none, I guess there can't be any

Thanks to:
	Amiga for being the best Amiga ever
	
	Ian Braden for doing a great sequel to Elite

	Commodore:  do something: Commodore Germany is one of the
	lamest companies I know :-ß  Get RTG out, or AAA might be a dead
	end!

	Fred Fish, for continuing his AmigaLibDisk series

	Eric Schwartz, for producing his neat animations with Flip &
	Clarisse: good laughs!

	my A3000, for taking it easy when I connected my old Citizen
	120D 9-needle to SCSI ...

	Günther, for repairing this and for keeping me supplied with
	brand new PD and Freeware.
