I found a copy of PopCli on one of my disks, but I'm clueless to what it does, or how do get it to work. Could somebody mail me some instructions? Also, are REZ, wIconify, and shell2.07 all available on fish disks? This is the only way for me to get pd software, as I don't yet have a modem. If not, could I send somebody a disk and a self-stamped and adressed envelope, and have them send it back to me? I really would appreciate it. I thank anybody in advance.

PopCli is a utility written by John Toebes a long time ago. Latest version I have seen is III. If you have III, it will detach itself, otherwise 'run' it. When you press the left amiga and the escape keys you will get a new cli window. Also contains an extremely logical screen blanker. Screen returns at any key press or mouse movement. Great program. I wouldn't be without it.

I may be missing something obvious here, BUT . . . I have installed in my ASDG-RAM (vd0:) the following: NewCLI CLI EndCLI CLI.info VD0: is the second name in my search path, after "current directory". Up till now, whenever I click on the CLI icon in VD0:, I get a disk requester for WorkBench if WorkBench is not currently in a drive. A friend advised me to start using PopCLI. I dutifully installed PopCLI in my WorkBench C: directory, and placed into my startup-sequence the following line: run popcli 300 newcli >nil: This allows PopCLI to run fine, AS LONG AS WORKBENCH IS INSERTED!! I also tried run popcli 300 vd0:newcli >nil: which also works fine, AS LONG AS WORKBENCH IS INSERTED!! If WorkBench is not in a drive, I still get the *&*$#$@&!% system requester! However, if I type "newcli" in a CLI window, whether WorkBench is inserted or not, I get a new CLI window with no problem. But just try getting it from the icon in VD0 or via PopCLI, and no soap! Why can't I bring up a CLI window from the WB screen or using PopCLI without having the &*&^*&#^$# WB disk inserted? Thanks. Malcolm L.

The Workbench CLI program uses the AmigaDOS Execute() function as the final step in opening a new cli. The AmigaDOS execute function requires the RUN command, and it only tries to loadseg it as C:RUN. i.e. - whatever directory you have C: assigned to MUST contain the RUN command or the Workbench CLI (and other CLI creaters) will not work. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CATS >>Commodore Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,ihnp4,rutgers}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
