AutoDock moves AmiDock to the default public screen automaticly when the default
public screen is changed. There's two other options as well. Use it together
with another tool, which will change the default public screen (Workbench is
usually the default one), or enable one of the other two modes AUTO_HIDE and/or
FOLLOW_FRONT.

There's also automatic hide and follow the front most screen features. Check the
tooltypes how to enable them.

"Auto hide" feature will keep AmiDock hidden until mouse pointer is moved to any
of the edges of a screen. Enable AUTO_HIDE tooltype. Set VISUAL_SECS tooltype
how many seconds AmiDock will stay opened before it will be hidden again.

"Follow front" feature will make the front most screen as the default public
screen automaticly everytime screen depth has changed. Enable FOLLOW_FRONT
tooltype to enable this feature.

There's also the MoveDock command line tool in C directory in this archive.
MoveDock does the same manually what the AutoDock does automaticly (moves
AmiDock to a new default public screen). Use MoveDock from command line (Shell)
or from a script.

(Hopefully this tool will make Amiga screens to feel a little bit more like
"virtual desktops/spaces".)
