overviews you want ta have on a page.

* ATTENTION:                                             *
* ----------                                             *
* The prefs window of MUIOverView can be quite large     *
* depending on your MUI font configuration. So be shure  *
* to have a WorkBench/PageStream3 screen which is large  *
* enough! Otherwise it can result in crashes at startup! *

HISTORY

V1.00 (31. January 1998)
 * very first public version

V1.01 (08. March 1998)
 * added user definable inner thumbnail space.
   per default the thumbnails have a gap of 1pt from the top, bottom, left and right
   border of the surrounding box. now this is definable.
 * saving prefsfile on end is now choosable! (menu)
 * added loading and saving of prefsfiles! (menu)

V1.02 (03. April 1998)
 * added a button to interface to get the master page sizes.
   So no more need to define it manually 8-)

V1.03 (05. April 1998)
 * long standing bug fixed:
   when calculating the thumbnail size the gap was used twice! this lead
   to a too big gap on the right of the catalog! (twice the given size)

V1.04 (13. June 1998)
 * corrected EMail address

V1.05 (18. June 1998)
 * fixed typo in the start script
