NAME

	BeginUpdate -- Prepare to repair damaged layer.

SYNOPSIS

	result = BeginUpdate( l )
	d0                    a0
	LONG BeginUpdate( struct Layer *);

FUNCTION

	Convert damage list to ClipRect list and swap in for
	programmer to redraw through. This routine simulates
	the ROM library environment. The idea is to only render in the
	"damaged" areas, saving time over redrawing all of the layer.
	The layer is locked against changes made by the layer library.

INPUTS

	l - pointer to a layer

RESULT

	result - TRUE if damage list converted to ClipRect list successfully.
	         FALSE if list conversion aborted. (probably out of memory)

BUGS

	If BeginUpdate returns FALSE, programmer must abort the attempt to
	refresh this layer and instead call EndUpdate( l, FALSE ) to restore
	original ClipRect and damage list.
