            RndBackdrop V1.0  ScanPicDir V1.0
            ---------------------------------

Purpose
-------

Two little programs I've written in ARexx, because similar programs on 
aminet did not support reloading of a random picture, in case I get annoyed
of a picture but don't want to reboot (moreover WBPattern can't simply 
reload a picture by giving a picture as argument to it, don't know about
WBPicture (NickPrefs) though.).

Copyright
---------

Both scripts are Public Domain. You may use it as you wish, but it would
be nice if you mentioned me somewhere when you include them in one of your
programs.

Description
-----------
ScanPicDir read one or more directories and creates a list of backdrop 
pictures which you may alter by hand (simple ascii files).

RndBackdrop reads the list ScanPicDir and/or you created, selects per 
random a picture and copies it to a picture which you only need to give in
WBPattern and save it. It also includes a possibility to load a picture
AFTER the Workbench has been loaded (though this is a bit tricky. Read the
Readme file in the archive for more information.
