It's the same question I asked myself some time ago... There's a nice looking structure in WorkbenchBase.h that had me going for awhile, until I couldn't really find the actual instance of this elusive library... :) So I decided to rewrite workbench -- being the idiot, beginner programmer that I was -- I figured it couldn't be too hard... [heh, heh] And then Pete&Peter IPC messages became available [for free -- unlike some other better known message types] ...and then I had the whole summer free... And now we all have Jazzbench... And now I don't have a hard drive controller to read my hard disk... So we have a BUGGY Jazzbench, sigh... Oh well. I guess what I'm saying is that *I* for one want to hear the answer to this one.
