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
