In my continuing quest to reinvent the wheel in every manner humanly
imaginable, the RISC OS world's newest (as of the time of writing, less
than one month old) backdrop randomiser has just received yet another of
its annoyingly frequent updates. Yes, I'm wondering when it'll stop as
much as you are - but if I become aware of any other features it doesn't
have, rest assured I'll implement them!

Today's programming incident involved the following new features:

- A sequential backdrop choosing mode in addition to a random one;
- an option to not delete a line from the list of backdrops when used;

and the following fixes for misfeatures:

- MBBCtrl now copes properly with MBBack being launched from the Filer;
- the aspect-ratio preserving functions are now accessible from
computers without ImageFileConvert (but only for JPEGs).

Ever wanted to have your computer choose a different backdrop on
startup, or every five minutes, according to taste? Don't already own
at least five different programs to do just that? MBBack is for you!
