  36.                         - optimized all testroutines to show
  37.                           more accurate results.
  38.                         - changed ASL-Screenmode Requester to pop up
  39.                           in "sticky" mode (actual screenmode).

  42.                         - added saveroutine for saveing your results.
  43.  
  44. P96Speed v0.12ß         - added RectFill() with Pattern testroutine.
  45.                         - added CON-Output testroutine.
  46.                         - switched all screens to open in standard
  47.                           Topaz/8 Mode for more accurate tests.
  48.                         - changed SizeWindow() routine to just size
  49.                           between to different sizes.
  50.                         - fixed a small bug if you don`t selected
  51.                           another screenmode than your default one.
  52.                         - included "identify.library" support to get
  53.                           system informations.

  58.                           exactly if it work ;) (hope my PPC will be
  59.                           come soon)
  60.  
  61. P96Speed v0.13ß         - reworked DrawEllipse() and DrawCircle() to be
  62.                           sure that radius will not be zero.

  65.                         - added kickstart 3.1 recognition for disabling
  66.                           routines that will only work with 3.1 and
  67.                           therefore it must be disabled for other versions.
  68.                         - noticed that Text() is a routine of the

  70.                           Position in the GUI.

  79.                           WritePixelArray8() routines.
  80.                         - changed the way the screenmoderequester will handle
  81.                           screenmodes if the user allready selected one or canceled
  82.                           the requester.
  83.                         - include a installscript in future version.
  84.  
  85. P96Speed v0.14ß         - removed bug in ASL-Filerequester. The File was not saved if the
  86.                           path was not a root path.
  87.                         - removed little bug in installscript.
