DESCRIPTION

	Replacement for WBPattern with the following advantages:

		Backdrop (pattern) updating (refreshing) is significantly faster then
		WBPattern.

		Uses datatypes to load patterns

		6 different colour remap types.

		Change the Screenmode and the backdrop remaps to the new number of
		colours to insure the backdrops always look as good as possible.

		CyberGraphics users can have 15/16/24bit backdrops provided they're
		using the 24bit picture.datatype.
	
		Optional random backdrops.

		Workbench windows can be changed to smart refresh for even faster
		pattern updating

		FullWB toggle (with optional 'screen-to-front/back' gadget)

		Prefs program for easy setting.

		Memory used by patterns can be varied.      	
	
		Optional Centering

		3 placement types - pattern can be tiled, not tiled or scaled to
		the size of the Workbench


NEW FEATURES

		BugFix: The positioning of the pattern on the WB Window
		was sometimes incorrect.

		Preferences loading re-written, now faster & much nicer
		(unfortunatly also incompatable with previous releases).
		Which should fix the problems some people where having.

		Code has been optimised some more & modified in places.

		Workbench now resets only when a preferences change makes
		it nessesary.

		FullWB handling changed.. Only resets if it has to.	
		
		Added '020 & '040 versions to the distribution.	
		

IMPORTANT

		The prefs file format has changed and is incompatable with
		prevous releases (this is a pain, i know.. Sorry).
