  Only to be distributed with superview.library.

  Version      : 12.10
  Release Date : 23.03.1996


  Description
  ~~~~~~~~~~~
  SVPrefs is the Preferences Program for superview.library.

  Any specific ControlPad settings for superview.library,
  superviewsupport.library and all the SVObjects, SVDrivers
  and SVOperators may be modified fromout here in a comfortable
  GUI-based way - as long as these ControlPad requirements are
  documented in form of a CPInfo-file placed in ENVARC: (as usually).

  Additionally, adding and removing of single SVObjects, SVDrivers
  or SVOperators is possible from here, if no other program is accessing
  superview.library and the related modules at the same time
  (to keep the internal lists valid).

  Priorities of SVObjects - concerning the order of checking file types
  when loading - may as well be changed here temporarily.


  Inclusion and Exclusion: Explanation
  ------------------------------------
  As one of the newest features of superview.library, you may also
  decide here, which of the installed SVObjects, SVDrivers and/or
  SVOperators should not be loaded into memory at startup time.
  This works as follows:

   - excluded modules will be written to a specific configuration file
     at ENVARC:superview-Library and ENV:superview-Library
     (svobjects.exclude, svdrivers.exclude, svoperators.exclude)
   - excluded modules will not be opened when the library starts
     its initialization phase, which means that these modules will
     never be loaded. May speed up opening and save memory.
     On the other side, these modules are not available as long
     as you don't re-add them to the system, either only temporarily
     or also by re-including.
     So you only should apply this to modules you seldomly or never
     use, but don't want to de-install (everytime) nevertheless.
   - any of these modules may temporarily be loaded via the "Add"
     function of SVPrefs as well as these (or others) may again
     temporarily be removed
   - SVPrefs can apply (re)inclusion and exclusion modules currently
     being in held memory
     (to re-include an currently excluded module you at first have to
      re-load it via "Add")

  Inclusion and Exclusion: Overview
  ---------------------------------

     INCLUDE temporarily      ADD
             permanently      ADD, INCLUDE

     EXCLUDE temporarily      REMOVE
             permanently      EXCLUDE, REMOVE

     If you don't need that feature: simply don't use it...

  History
  ~~~~~~~
  SVPrefs' version depends on the version of
  superview.library it first has been included with.

   - Preferences: - fixed enforcer hit; occured with missing default
                    (-> Steve Quartly)
                  - fixed another hit; occured within the keyword
                    context (illegal access to address NULL, which
                    did not had any effect when not running enforcer)
                    (-> Steve Quartly)

  V11.11 (23.09.1995) :
  ---------------------
   - Major release.
   - ControlPad modification now totally GUI-based, as already done
     for SuperView V4.70 (same functionality)
