Installation
------------
First install the info/icon (info_dt) datatype and REBOOT your system.
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=datatype/icon/info_dt.lha
Then, just copy "Preferences" and "Preferences.info" to anywhere you
like, and start the program from there.
If you get an error when started from WB then use the file RunPreferences in
this archive.
A tip, it becomes pretty nice if it's added to the AmiDock :)
