This is for Emplant and Retina owners.  Its a handy utility that
when installed will bring the Emplant Mac screen to the front
when ever the 'click here' screen is shuffled to the front with the
Amiga-M keys.

!!! No more 'click here' screen !!!

It must be run from the shell as follows:

RetinaSTF <width> <height> <bits per pixel>

where:

<width> = the width of the Emplant Mac screen

<height> = the height of the Emplant Mac screen

<bits per pixel> = the bits per pixel (8, 16, or 24) 
                   of the Emplant Mac screen


To remove it, simply type ctrl-C in the shell that it was started in.


I have the following line in my user-startup for RetinaSTF:

Run >NIL: <NIL: RetinaSTF 640 480 8


If I want to remove it, I use Steve Tibbett's TaskX to send it a ctrl-C.


RetinaSTF works by installing a vertical blank interrupt that searches 
for the 'click here' screen as the frontmost screen.  When it 
finds it, it brings the retina screen identified by the info you
have supplied to the front.

Two things could go wrong (neither is catastrophic):

1.  If you have a 640x200 custom screen open other than the 'click
    here' screen, it could confuse the two and switch to the Mac
    screen when it shouldn't.
    
2.  If you have another unnamed Retina screen (not a RetinaEMU screen)
    open with the same characteristics (i.e., width, height, and bits 
    per pixel) that describe the Emplant Mac screen, it could accidentally
    switch to this screen instead.


I hope you find this as useful as I do.  Enjoy!
