GD-Flag is Freeware and distribution is encouraged so long as the
following files are distributed together as a single archive:

GD_FLAG.PRG  Program
GD_FLAG.RSC  Resource file
GD_FLAG.TXT  English text

Program Description...
This program provides an easy and convienent method of editing program
Headers. Ideal for TT and MultiTOS users although most Atari users should
find GD-Flag a handy utility to have around.
TT users can use GD-Flag to determine which applications load into TT RAM
and for awkward applications which frequently need to be switched between
ST and TT RAM GD-Flag is indispensable.
MultiTOS users can set the Global, Private, Super and Readable options
covered in detail in the MultiTOS documentation.

Everything takes place from an extended File Selector dialog screen.
Select the desired file and edit its header using the desired options.
Select the 'Set' button to overwrite the header and select 'End' to quit
GD-Flag.

Very Brief Overview of features, refer to the MultiTOS, TT or third party
documentation for more details:

-Fastload: Programs run without the Fastload bit cause TOS to clear all
 free memory (from the beginning of the program to the end of the TPA
 (Transient Program Area). This is slow and in most cases unneccessary.
 With the introduction of TOS V1.04 a fastload option was added, the
 fastload routine only clears enough memory to enable the program to run
 (the BSS) which is much faster.

-Other RAM: Set this option to load a program into TT Fast Ram for
 example.

-Malloc: This option is provided to enable older programs which do not
 recognise the MXALLOC call to allocate memory from alternative Ram.

-Write protection: protects an application from modification, including
 being renamed.

-Private, Global, Super, Readable: Only relevant to MultiTOS users. Refer
 to the MultiTOS documentation.

-Rename: Select this option to rename a file with an 'X' as the last
 character of the file extender. Useful for re-naming AUTO folder or
 Accessory programs on the fly.
 Example: 'GD_FLAG.PRG' renamed becomes 'GD_FLAG.PRX'

GD-Flag supports the drag and drop features of the newer desktops
(including GEMINI) and can be called by a command line. In both cases the
GD-Flag File Selector dialog appears.

GD-FLAG works with all official ATARI TOS Versions for ST/STE/TT in all
resolutions. GD-FLAG runs under MultiTOS.

If you are experiencing difficulties please send me a bug report and I'll
do my best to help you!
