Description:
~~~~~~~~~~~

P96Speed is a graphics benchmark program.

It will test standard graphics routines of graphics and intuition library.

It is absolutly independent and should work with any known graphics system
like Picasso96/CyberGraphX or simply on standard AGA screens.

You can also compare different systems with P96Speed.

Please report any problem or suggestion directly to me.

Short history:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P96Speed v1.00      - bumped version up to v1.00 because P96Speed is final now.
(08.11.98)            All known bugs should be removed.
                      Please report any bugs who are left directly to:
                      htw10895@informatik.htw-dresden.de
                    - recompiled P96Speed with StormC v3.0
                      all future versions of P96Speed will be compiled with StormC

P96Speed v0.18ß     - added feature to also select the source machine for
(internal release)    the comparsion.
                    - added feature to select the comparsion machine directly
                      from the comparsion page.
                    - added long awaited locale support. Now every guy can tune
                      his own translation (P96Speed.cd included)
                    - fixed bug in the ScreenTitle allocation.
                    - forgot to free some memory in the list/node routines
                    - added more information to the database like Owner, E-mail etc.
                    - removed ugly bug in the TAB_KIND notification with the AutoPageID
                      feature of gtlayout.
                    - rewritten the IFFParse routines completly from scratch. Implemented
                      it in a way that future versions of P96Speed will stay compatible in
                      the file format.
                      Earlier versions ( < 0.18ß) are now incompatible with the file format
                      of the compare datas. Iam sorry for that but this change was needed to
                      keep the format compatible in future versions.
                    - added feature to sort the entries in the database (Top/Up/Down/Bottom).
                    - Now you can directly choose a screenmode if the programm requests you
                      for one.
                    - Changed the way the save button will be handled. It will change its
                      name in the different pagegroups.
                    - Changed the layout of the GUI a little bit to solve problems with long
                      strings
                    - again optimzed the timing routine that calculates the executed
                      operations per second.
                    - now P96Speed uses GetSysTime() instead of requesting Time with TR_GETSYSTIME
                      this should make the tests more accurate.
                    - removed bug in the WritePixelLine8() routine. The lines were drawn outside
                      the rastport what results in some crashes on PAL Screens.

P96Speed v0.17ß     - replaced all SYS: requesters with PROGDIR: ones...
(31.01.98)          - removed the very BAD BUG introduced in v0.16ß
                      (sorry for that and thanks to Johan Sandgren for help!)
                    - removed other bug in the "Test all" routine, to check
                      for v40 kick correctly !
                    - included some errorchecks for the OpenScreen() routines to
                      check if the open was ok !
                    - included a requester at the Save Button, asking people in which
                      format they want to save their data.
                      They can even choose between saving the ACTUAL results of THEIR
                      machine in a ASCII file - or they can save the WHOLE database they
                      created in "Preferences".
                      (That was implemented because people are sending me ASCII files
                      instead of database ones and I can`t import them to my database)
                    - removed bug in ScrollX() and ScrollY() routines were I drawed
                      outside the RastPort.
                    - now the actual results will be cleared when changeing the screenmode.
