Can someone point me towards a Workbench 1.3 patch or work-alike
which does stuff like allowing a custom ILBM to be used as a workbench
background and/or the ability to add custom menus to the workbench.
If there's some in the Fish collection, just tell me which disks.

There is a program called 'My Menu' that lets you add custom menus to the workbench which launch executable files or scripts. Otherwise, take a look at Browser. It is excellent if you are using only floppies and need all the space you can get. It lets you list directories by filename, plus add switches to the AmigaDOS commands when you run them. I would suggest Browser 1.3, even though there is a 1.7 release. I prefer version 1.3 because the windows don't cover the entire screen as each one opens, and it doesn't insist that you enter switches if there is no .info file. It also lets you add tools to the Browser menu. -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN Tomas Arce Any students from SUNY Oswego?

I agree with using "My Menu" to setup a custom workbench menu system. I've never had any problems, and it really speeds up getting programs up and running -- no more clicking on drawer after drawer and waiting for .info file disk access, etc. As far as a custom WorkBench IFF background, "SIMGEN" works great! rhand@well.sf.ca.us CIS: 73520,3506
