				    RULER

	Opens a borderless WorkBench window in which is contained a ruler
	for the	purpose of aligning or constraining text; the default ruler
	is 30 characters intended to help prevent entering too-long filenames.
	The program will automatically adjust itself to fit your personal
	screen configuration (ie. MoreRows, etc.)

	Usage:

	CLI> RUN  RULER  [ size ] [ scale ]

	where `size' must be between 12 and your maximum screen columns
	inclusive and defaults to 30, and `scale' is the size of the font to
	enter, and is limited depending on the size of your screen.

	The window, of course, can be moved to any convenient location on the
	screen, and resized with an invisible resizing gadget found in the
	lower right corner.

	Version 3.0   06-Dec-1988  (c)1988 Chad Netzer and Thad Floryan

		Based upon code, idea, and logic from:

	Version 1.0   7-Nov-1988   (c)1988 Thad Floryan

	Revision history:
	    24-Nov-1988 - (Ver. 3.0) - Added support for measuring fonts of
		varying widths (selectable scale).

	    22-Nov-1988 - (Ver. 2.2) - More adjustments to code, No major
	    	changes.  Program size is slightly smaller.  (CFN)

	    14-Nov-1988 - (Ver. 2.1) - Fixed a few minor (harmless) bugs.  The
		right edge of the ruler is now always redrawn after resizing.
		I got rid of that GOTO statement (which in 'C', is considered a
		bug. :-)  Version 2.1 now lets you open a ruler to be as low as
		12 characters wide, which 2.0 only advertised. (CFN)

	    13-Nov-1988 - (Ver. 2.0) - I added minor enhancements, most
		noteably, the ability to resize the window, and support for 
		overscanned screens.	(CFN)
