- RULER
-
- Opens a borderless WorkBench window in which is contained a ruler
- for the purpose of aligning or constraining text; the default ruler
- is 30 characters intended to help prevent entering too-long filenames.
- The program will automatically adjust itself to fit your personal
- screen configuration (ie. MoreRows, etc.)
-
- Usage:
-
- CLI> RUN RULER [ size ] [ scale ]
-
- where "size" must be between 12 and your maximum screen columns
- inclusive and defaults to 30, and "scale" is the size of the font to
- enter, and is limited depending on the size of your screen.
-
- The window, of course, can be moved to any convenient location on the
- screen, and resized with an invisible resizing gadget found in the
- lower right corner.

-
- Version 1.0 7-Nov-1988 (c)1988 Thad Floryan

- varying widths (selectable scale).

-
- 14-Nov-1988 - (Ver. 2.1) - Fixed a few minor (harmless) bugs. The
- right edge of the ruler is now always redrawn after resizing.
- I got rid of that GOTO statement (which in 'C', is considered a
- bug. :-) Version 2.1 now lets you open a ruler to be as low as
- 12 characters wide, which 2.0 only advertised. (CFN)
-
