	Blatent bugs, like in MachII it always turns on the clock on startup
no matter what I set the clock option to.  MachII also called WindowToFront()
everytime you clicked in the window, causing havoc with simple_refresh
windows.  I wonder how many of these accelerators don't work with the
workbench because they call WindowToFront or ActivateWindow before the user
lets go the button when moving an icon from one window to another?  Sunmouse
didn't even work on my system!  PopCli is getting closer, but for some reason
has a tendancy to crash my machine.  Various derivatives appear to work,
but don't have the features I want.

	But the very worst thing these programs do is not provide the
source!  And then some people have the gaul to call their creations shareware.
Give me a break!

	Of course, all in all, your second comment is the correct answer...
the other programs just don't do what I want.  I got fed up not being able
to customize the program (not having source) so I wrote my own.

	Next installment (fixing the interlace bug) comming soon.  Oh
what the hell, I'll spend some time and make it a handler so you can
endcli (for you workbench users).  Comming soon...
