Warning1:
This program takes about 30 seconds after
showing your picture to start peeling, it
does a lot of precalculations. It is slightly faster than peel.

Warning2:
   This program USES five picture buffers, for speed.  You need a lot of
Chip RAM. 32 colors requires 200k of ram just for picture data. Now the
program about 28k will load itself in chip ram. (Pointer msg requirement).

Description:
   Peel is a program which takes a lo-res IFF picture and peels the
image off the screen, while showing the back side of the image.  Like tape
being pulled off glass.  This peeling starts in the lower right corner and
leaves the background (Color 0) behind.
   After the first peel it will ask you if you would like to peel again at
a different speed.
   If your lo-res IFF picture is made in the overscan mode Peel will still
load it, but will only peel the upper right hand corner.

Usage:
   From CLI type:   Peel <[dev:]filename> [rate] [border] [color]
    where filename is a lo-res IFF picture including directories
    where rate is an optional number 0-199
      0=25seconds 1=12.5sec 2=6.25 and each additional number is half the
      preceding,until about 75 then you just determine the break point
      for three picture peel.
   where border is border width in vertical pixels along the right side
      and along the top is proportional amount of horizontal pixels.
   where color is the number of the pen color used to draw the border,
      if you use a higher number than the bitplanes allow it will rap around
      just like the graphics SetAPen command does. (Because that is what
      it uses).

Notes:
1:
   To save time Peel precalculates the back side of peel, it displays
calculating on the CLI window, and it takes about 30 seconds before
done is displayed.

2:
   To ease in recording the program turns off the pointer when it is
started it returns the pointer to normal after it is done.

3:
   The interlace is turned on for better video recording, but all images
are still just 200 lines tall.

4:
   If you are using grabbitt to save the screen, be aware there are two
different buffered screens and a backside data screen, which is interlaced.
You should hunt around to make shure you grabbed what you wanted.

5:
   There is no provision for interrupting this program, once started, just
let it follow its course, or reboot the Amiga. Remember to hit the returns
for actions when it is running.

6:
   This program was written in Lattice C 4.0 and is compatible with
Kickstart 1.2 and Workbench 1.2.
