PREINTRODUCTION:
----------------
 English is _NOT_ my native language, so please forgive all mistakes in
 this file, or even better - correct them and send it to me :)


INTRODUCTION:
-------------
 XLogin is simple login/logout/autopass replacement.  On my A500 (yes I
 still have only A500 :) with HD n' stuff, but...  :) I use MuFS for a
 year (about).  I installed it because some viruses have problems with
 this filesystem (couldn't write n' stuff), and on the other hand my
 little sister sometimes use my computer, so I had to protect my files
 before accidental delete.  I decided not to set passwords, because it's
 REALLY annoying, when you have to enter password on your own machine
 zillions times a day, and you can trust other users.  Besides
 Login/Logout suck - it's old, out of style and totally non configurable
 stuff.  I found partial solution in "autopass", but autopass is really
 PIA when more than one person use computer.  And there is NO WAY to
 login as nobody (sometimes it's useful).  So I wrote XLogin.  I was
 inspired by SunOS xlogin - it's as simple as it could be - no
 firecrackers, no superhiperextrauseless things - just gr8.  Then I add
 some firecrackers and useless stuff just 4 fun, but user can disable it
 :)

 XLogin has been written in E with EasyGUI - that's why it has about 40k
 (BIIIG :().  I used EasyGUI because I'm leasy.  _Maybe_ in future I'll
 rewrite GUI part, but 2 B honest I doubt.

 Program has been tested on A500 with plain 68000, 4MB FastRAM, 1.8
 SlowRAM, 0.5 ChipRAM, 630HD, KickStart 40.68.  So I guess it should work
 on ANY Amiga with OS2.04+.


INSTALLATION:
-------------
 Just copy XLogin whereever you want (with icon if possible - it can be
 usefull).


USAGE:
------
 xlogin LOGIN/K,PASSWORD/K,ICON/S,ICONNAME/K,FONT/K,FONTSIZE/N/K,
        TITLE/K,GLOBAL/S,NOGUI/S,NOCANCEL/S,TIMEOUT/N,GAUGE/S

  Options:
	LOGIN (string) - loginname (default "root")
	PASSWORD (string) - password (default - none)
	ICON - If typed icon will be shown (default "xlogin.info")
	ICONNAME (string) -  you may change name of default icon
			    (BTW: don't add ".info" in the name)
	FONT (string) - change font (default "Times.font")
	FONTSIZE (number) - change size of font (default 24)
	TITLE (string) - change title (default "X Login")
	GLOBAL - see MultiUser.doc
	NOGUI - If typed there no GUI will be shown (in that case xlogin
		will work the same way as autopass)
	NOCANCEL - disable cancel gadget
	TIMEOUT - Ehhhh.... it's longer story. I decided to add this one
		because sometimes my machine get crash and reboot. If I
		sleep n' stuff there is _no way_ to startup - it stops
		on login. After TIMEOUT intuiticks (on my computer about 5
		intuiticks = 1 second) XLogin will try to login. BTW. If
		you press any key (even mouse button) countdown will
		stop. So you can change login and password. Set this
		value individually.
	GAUGE - Shows time to autologin


EXAMPLES:
---------
 xlogin icon - simple gui login with default icon
 xlogin iconname="sys:disk" - simple gui login with icon from your system
		  disk
 xlogin login=dexter password=laboratory nogui - login in autopass way
 xlogin font=NewsGothic.font fontsize=56 - login with changed fonts in
					   title
 xlogin title="Amiga OS 3.1" - login with changed title
 xlogin nocancel - siple gui login with _no guest_ allowed
 xlogin login=miron icon gauge timeout=100 - is my favourite. It's gui login
	with default icon, gauge and autologin after 20 sec.

 Program CAN be runned from workbench and it that case it uses tootypes.

KNOWN BUGS & DISADVENTAGES:
---------------------------
 - If text in title is "out of range" (larger than window) xlogin fail to
 open window and quit.
 - There is _NO_ "TASK" and "PROCESS" so there is _NO WAY_ to change task
 user, so DO NOT delete original login command!!!


FUTURE:
-------
 - Remove all bugs (and daffy)
 - Add background in window/screen.
 - Rewrite GUI to get smaller final code.
