Short: 2 patches: ASL Library and PAL-NTSC screens
Author: jcorig@strauss.udel.edu
Uploader: jcorig@strauss.udel.edu
Type: util/misc
What you have here are two little hacks I wrote to make life a little
easier. Use them at your own risk ;^}
PatchASL
--------
This little patch makes all ASL requesters open at the same height as
the screen. With my 640 x 400 DblNTSC Workbench screen, I got real
tired of programs opening little tiny file requesters.
PatchPAL
--------
A pretty useless hack I wrote for a specific program. When I purchased
SimLife, I was kinda bummed to see that it was PAL - I didn't want to
have to reboot everytime I played the game. So, I wrote PatchPAL. What
this does is that it tries to intercept all attempts to open PAL screens
and does two things: sets the Diplay Clip to NTSC and sets the AutoScroll
flag. So what happens is, the screen still gets opened at PAL resolution
but you can use the mouse to scroll up and down. This works just fine
for SimLife but won't work for: a) Programs that use OpenScreenTags
instead of OpenScreen, b) Programs that use Graphics Library instead
of Intuition (most games), and c) programs that don't use the mouse.
Anyway, you might find a use for it.
