Here is yet another random wb picture program.  I wrote this because not one of the 4
other programs I downloaded off Aminet worked how I wanted them too, some of them simply
copied a random picture to another file which you picked as your backdrop, hardly the
most efficient way.

My program creates a new wbpattern.prefs in ENV: with a random backdrop picked from a
list of files and then quits.  Only the filename is altered, any options set (e.g. with
FastWBPattern) won`t be touched.

Since this program was coded in assembler, it is much smaller than similar programs and
it also supports changing of the backdrop at any time - just run the program again.
The program itself is less than 1k.
