How to patch the ReSource executable to use one bitplane for its screen
    =======================================================================

ReSource, an Amiga disassembler from The Puzzle Factory is a superb product.
However, with the introduction of version 6 the display routines were changed
to make them more RTG-friendly. The new routines are significantly slower
than those in version 5.

The effect of this is especially bad for users with ECS machines. My
preferred screenmode for running ReSource is Super72:High Res, 800×300. In
four colours, this is almost unusably slow on my (accelerated) A2000.
Changing the screen depth to 1 speeds things up greatly. Since the
disassembled code only uses 1 colour (plus background), this is unaffected by
the change. The only differences are cosmetic.
