   SYNOPSIS
	OpenLibEnhancer NOPROGDIR/S,NOLIBS/S,NOCLASSES/S

	NOPROGDIR   Do not search in PROGDIR:
	NOLIBS      Do not search in PROGDIR:Libs/
	NOCLASSES   Do not search in PROGDIR:Classes/

	Most users _won't_ need these switches.

   FUNCTION
	If a program opens a library then the ramlib-module of
	AmigaOS looks for it first in ROM and RAM, then in LIBS:
	and then in the current directory.

	But if you start a program which has its own library in
	its own directory by typing "dh1:owndir/myprogram" and
	the current directory is your "SYS:" partition, your
	program will not find the library (unless it searches
	it in this special place).

	If a program looks for a library with a given path, e.g.
	"Blubb:blubberlibs/blubber.library" and it does not find
	it there, OpenLibEnhancer will also become active.

	OpenLibEnhancer enhances the OpenLibrary() function by
	looking for your library in "PROGDIR:" "PROGDIR:Libs/"
	and even in "PROGDIR:Classes/" if the library could not
	be opened in the normal way.

	With OpenLibEnhancer there is no more need to type all
	these assigns any more if you got a new program and you
	just want to do a quick test without installing all the
	data.

   INPUTS
	None. Just put OpenLibEnhancer in your WBStartup-drawer
	or add it to your user-startup (recommended) and that's it.

   NOTE
	As the OpenLibrary() function is patched, your viruskiller
	may report an unknown vector.

	Only the OpenLibrary() function is patched, but everything
	should work also for those (poor) programs, which call
	OldOpenLibrary(), because OldOpenLibrary() does nothing else
	than calling OpenLibrary() with version 0. (That is the case
	with OS3.x, I don't know about earlier releases of the OS :-)

	Start OpenLibEnhancer in your user-startup (after ENV: exists)
	as it uses an environment-variable.
