Start DoPro from CLI or WorkBench, it is linked with cback.o, it detaches
itself from the Shell, so you can close your shellwindow.
When one of your programs wants to open a new Screen using the old OpenScreen
routine (BTW. I think most pre 2.0 software will do so ;-) ), you will get
a requester, displaying most of the NewScreen contents. You can edit some of
these values and choose a new DisplayID for this screen, eg. PRODUCT.
Now hit the closegadget of the requester, you screen will be opened with this
new DisplayID.
Now it is possible for you to open >real< NTSC- or PAL-screens, or you can
open a productivity screen instead of an interlaced screen.
See the sources for details !
New for V1.2
A Database is used by the program, it is saved in a file called
's:DoPro.config', so you will only get one requester per screen.
Caution: The database is only saved when DoPro quits, so be sure to quit DoPro,
if the database has been extended.
New for V1.3
Now you can force a screen to use Topaz 8 as default font, some programs cannot
deal with the various 2.0 standard screen fonts.
New for V1.4
I forgot to UnLock the WorkBenchscreen, so you can't change the Workbench resolution.
Only a minor bugfix !
New for V1.5
Changed OpenScreenTags to OldOpenScreen.
Thanks to Matthias Scheler (tron@uni-paderborn.de) for finding this bug !
Plans for the future:
1. switch to commodities
2. a better database in ASCII format for easy editing
3. automatic detection of available ViewModes
May be the source with you !
