What's this I read in April issue of AmigaWorld? EAR to the Wall Workbench 2.0 (formally known as Workbench 1.4) is set for early 1990 release?

I guess that is why they call it the APRIL issue huh? (As in April first, as in April Fools Day) If it took C/A 12 months to get 1.3 out after it was at "Gamma" I can hardly see how they would get 1.4 out which is supposedly a much more radical change in less time. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis Internet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

CANONONICAL LIST OF MOST USEFUL PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE
1. Browser: allows one to view directories, copy files, etc, a la MAC
plus all kind of goodies that a multitaking OS offers. Launch a task simply
by clicking on the file name (even projects!!).
2. Snap: cut and paste ANY stype font from ANY window on ANY screen.
Beautiful, transparent, easy...
3. ARP1.3: Replaces most AmigaDos commands with smaller more powerful
ones. Very easily installable.
4. VirusX: Kills viruses dead! get it if you do more than play games.
5. Switcher: Jump from 1 screen to another easily. Has a bunch of
nice options...
6. Scripit: Does what Arexx does, without Arexx headaches!!! A must!

Comand line editing, window size controll at a F key. User definable buffer for CLH, (mine is set at 15K :) Comand line SEARCHING. (Great!) Much, much better then 1.3 Shell. Get WShell and you have a killer CLI. 8) TopazII This is a nice font. You can modify your Kickstart disk or use 1.3 FF. Much eaiser to read than stanbdard Topaz. (Yuck) Any more?

Drool :) Could I convince you lucky ones to disclose an ftp site, fish disk, or other good source for these delectable goodies ALONG WITH FUTURE POSTS? Ex: I'm still using ConMan 1.1 (I think it's up to 1.3 or so) because that's the latest one I could find. Thanks, I knew you would! Much obliged, Udo Schuermann
