F l i p s i d e - v 2.2

-----------------------

Flipside's job is simply to flip between public screens

when the middle mouse button is pressed, for those who

don't want to run MCP, MCX or anything big like that just

to do this job.

Apparently I never uploaded this version to Aminet 20 years ago :)

Installation:

-------------

1) Dump Flipside into your WBStartup Folderd.

ToolTypes:

----------

The SILENT tooltype turns off Flipside Enable/Disable confirmation requesters.

REQUESTERS=YES Use Flipside enable/disable requesters.

REQUESTERS=NO Don't show Flipside enable/disable requesters.

That's It! On your next boot it will become activated.*

Usage:

------

Middlemouse Button: Cycles through all open screens

Ctrl-Middlemouse Button: Enables/Disables Flipside. Good for those apps

that make extensive use of the Middle-Mouse Button.

Alt-Middelmouse Button: Temporarily disables Flipside. Useful for quick

single clicks that require the Middelmiuse button.

Amiga-Middlemouse Button: Brings the Workbench Screen to the Front.

Shift-Middlemouse Button: Quits Flipside.

History

-------

1.0 - ?

1.1 - Aminet Release

1.2 - Fixed a bug that showed up on GFX cards. CPU loop occured.

Now works with GFX cards and AGA/ECS/OCS

- Program Priority is set to 2. Higher than most apps run at.

That way you can flip screens as screens as fast as you want,

even while rendering! :)

1.3 - Flipside is now CLI only. Had to do this to make Flipside OS 3.9

friendly.

1.4 - Holding the middle mouse button down will not continously

cycle windows. Good for those with slow reflexes :)

v2.0 - Fresh new code.

- Holding Shift down while clicking the middle mouse button will

bring you to the Workbench screen.

- Holding Ctrl down while clicking will the middle mouse button

will enable or disable Flipside.

- Tooltype support added.

v2.1 - Added temporary disable using the ALT key

v2.2 - Changed Priority to +19. Uses verly little CPu but will

now respond quickly even under heavy system load.
