          This program is FreeWare - it is NOT in the public

        ======================================================

This program will happily simulate the drive light for any device you
might think of.  To use, start it from CLI (or user-startup):

DriveLight nnn.device ...

Where "nnn.device" is the name of the device you want to monitor, and
"..." is the name of any additional devices - upto four different
devices might be specified.  If a device isn't loaded into memory
(yet) or cannot be found, a requester will pop up telling you so.

Example usage:

DriveLight trackdisk.device scsi.device artser.device gameport.device

This will make a window dragbar with four boxes, one for each device,
and they will blink every time the device is accessed.

Caveats:
The program cannot differenciate between different unit numbers, so
there is no way (yet) to have one drivelight for each floppy station
or similar.
The access to the devices will take slightly longer, so if you want
maximum speed, don't run this utility - run ExecPatch/IPatch instead!
The dragbar might look weird if you use a custom system-font under
2.0 or higher versions.
No WorkBench-support (yet).  The amiga.lib-functions for CX-stuff was
too bugged to use in this program, so it is not a commodity either...

Changes from version 1.0 to 1.1:
Code optimised - should steal less time, and update faster.
Changes from version 1.1 to 1.2:
Will autoadjust size according to number of devices.
Now uses system-friendly patching with SetFunction().
Program made much smaller.

Enjoy,
*Art
