    NAME
	FattenLayerInfo -- convert 1.0 LayerInfo to 1.1 LayerInfo
	OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE

    SYNOPSIS
	OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE
	FattenLayerInfo( li )
	                 a0

	LONG FattenLayerInfo( struct Layer_Info *);
	OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE OBSOLETE

    FUNCTION
	V1.1 software and any later releases need to have more info in the
	Layer_Info structure. To do this in a 1.0 supportable manner requires
	allocation and deallocation of the memory whenever most
	layer library functions are called.  To prevent unnecessary
	allocation/deallocation FattenLayerInfo will preallocate the
	necessary data structures and fake out the layer library into
	thinking it has a LayerInfo gotten from NewLayerInfo.
	NewLayerInfo is the approved method for getting this structure.
	When a program needs to give up the LayerInfo structure it
	must call ThinLayerInfo before freeing the memory. ThinLayerInfo
	is not necessary if New/DisposeLayerInfo are used however.

    INPUTS
	li - pointer to LayerInfo structure
