Does there exist a listing of what programs and utilities are now compatible with WB2.0. I know there is a list of games but don't remember if it (or another list) had other programs also. I'm sure there is great interest in this right now, so re-posting a list would probably be welcome by many.

I know Umm, ethan, he wanted a list of WORKING programs, not a list of NOT working programs. the way you make it sound at first is that nothing works on 2.0, which MOST does now. but i like your idea, instead of posting programs that DO work, why not post programs that DON'T work. since this list is probably MUCH shorter. >of only one program for certain (Kiernan Holland was apparently >having other problems which he simply blamed on 2.0).

A list would be a waste of time at this time.

> Has anybody tried SID? I'd like something to replace DiskMaster.
I'm running it under 2.0, but I have a 2000. Dunno how it does on
the 3000. It has some good features -- I love how you can just double-click
on a file and have it display it (it figures out on the fly whether it's
text or IFF, if it doesn't seem to be neither, it punts and calls it
binary), but also some bad features. There doesn't seem to be a "PARENT"
gadget, for one thing... it sometimes becomes difficult to navigate. It
also closes its window and re-opens and redraws it every time the window is
selected (i.e, you select another window, diddle, re-select SID's window,
and it goes PLOOP).
Ironically, version 1.0 of DiskMaster, circa 1987, works perfectly under
2.0. It's only the later versions that die. This is similar to TxEd... the
original TxEd works fine, it's only TxEd+ that dies. It seems to me that
some "improvements" aren't improvements at all, eh?

The parent gadget is "hidden" in the extreme "outside" border of either directory window. For the left hand window, click on the extreme left border to get the parent, for the right hand window, click on the extreme right border. Other hidden gadgets include a "last-directory" in the small open rectangular space just "outside" of the path name at the top of each dir-window. Good luck!

Diskmaster does work under AmigaDOS 2.0! I have diskmaster V1.4, and it works great. CED had early problems, but there was a fix released. CrossDOS works GREAT under 2.0. The one program that causes me a pain under 2.0 is MED. I have to restart under Amidos 1.3 to use it. What a pain....
