Subject line says it all.
If so, what ftp site can I find it at. It's not at nasa, isca, uhcc, or ux1.
If not, who's selling it? I don't believe I've ever seen this at Creative.
As a side note, concerning my earlier posting on mouse utilities:
I am well aware that WB 2.0 has many built-ins to serve the purpose of some
of the functions of QMouse. However, it does not provide ALL the functions
that QMouse does. Specifically, I am looking for click-to-back and popcli,
neither of which is supported by the Commodities exchange.

Bill mentioned recently that 1.2 (the current version) might be a bit hard to find right now because no new 1.2 English manuals will be printed, in expectation of the AmigaOS 2.0 version being near. (At least as soon as 2.0 hits ROM.) Check the local dealers or mail-order houses. Someone probably still has some in stock. If you can find v1.2, don't hesitate to buy it. Bill's upgrade policies are more than reasonable, so you won't have to pay much for the upgrade to 2.0 when it's available. >As a side note, concerning my earlier posting on mouse utilities: I'm using ClockDJ v5.02 on my A3000, it works great. -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 580 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 blgardne@javelin.sim.es.com BIX: blaine_g DoD #46 My other motorcycle is a Quadracer.

WShell is a commercial product from William S Hawes (the author of ARexx). It should not be available by FTP or download from anywhere It is available for purchase at a very reasonable price from Bill Hawes, or from any number of Amiga software dealers. I recently purchased it directly from Bill Hawes when I last upgraded my copy of ARexx. WShell has a number of nifty features, especially for the ARexx user, including direct, built-in support for ARexx scripts within the shell (of course!), a number of useful builtin commands, local and global environment variables, a very flexable aliasing system, direct ConMan support (ConMan is another of William Hawes' products), and a number of useful system enhancements, like a filename completion package and a path manager (have you ever wished you could assign FONTS: to a multi-volume or multi-directory path?). I recommend WShell. Like ARexx, its not expensive, and performs very well. Wildstar

Well, either WShell 2.0 has _alot_ of new features, or BriWall has a misprint in their catalog; they list it for $999.00! -- Cary

Bill has said that WShell 2.0 will not ship until AmigaOS 2.0 goes to ROM. WShell 2.0 will still be compatible with AmigaOS 1.3, but will lack some 2.0-only features. No, I don't know what features, I'm not even sure what wonderful enhancements WShell 2.0 will bring, that's all Bill has said (on BIX). He also said that WShell 2.0 is waiting for AmigaOS 2.0 to go to ROM because it is coupled so tightly to the OS. Personally I can't wait to see what WShell 2.0 will look like! -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 580 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 blgardne@javelin.sim.es.com BIX: blaine_g DoD #46 My other motorcycle is a Quadracer.
