Small Screen 1.3 -- December 4, 1996

On a sufficiently large screen, Small Screen shows the boundaries of one or
more smaller screens. It is useful for testing whether something would fit
on a small screen.

Small Screen is not an extension but an ordinary application. It occupies
only a small memory partition (45 K) and can usually be left running all
the time. Contrary to tools like MiniScreen by Morgan Davis, Small Screen
does not simulate a small screen, it just shows its boundary (or several
boundaries) while leaving the full screen available. This is sufficient for
many purposes, and much more comfortable -- just make it a startup appli-
cation and forget it, it will be there whenever you need it.

Version 1.3 now saves the settings in a preferences file (finally!) and
adds the capability to make the screen boundaries float on top of other
windows even while the program runs in the background.

This is KindWare(tm) -- a gift to the whole of MacKind(tm). Enjoy, share,
and be kind(tm) to one another.
