Rings - a Public-screen "Moving Ring" graphic display
-----------------------------------------------------


  Features
  --------

     - Opens on the default public screen (initially the Workbench)

     - Will allocate/use 4 free pens (AmigaDos 3.0 Pen sharing)

       Fall-back is to use the last four pens on the screen (user is
       notified in this case)

     - Resizable display window

     - Allows adjustment of the following:

       -- Number of rings (1,2,3)
       -- Number of ring trails (0,2,4,8,16)
       -- Speed of ring movement (1->10)

     - Built-in palette controls

     - Supports icon tooltypes for window position and size

     - Intuition menu interface w/keyboard shortcuts

     - Optimized versions for 68020, 030, and 040 CPUs

     - Runs as a "-10" priority task so it does not compete
       for CPU time with (most) other programs

     - Tested OK using the Enforcer


  Limitations
  -----------

     - Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon)

     - Requires a 68020+ CPU for the 68020 version

     - Requires a 68030+ CPU for the 68030 version

     - Requires a 68040+ CPU for the 68040 version

     - Requires AmigaDOS 3.0(+)

     - Requires "# of screen colors" of 4 or greater
