leirbag28,
Its Workbench! Not AmigaOS and before Workbench it was called Intuition (perhaps this may have been the name for the windowing system)
Workbench and Intuition are not the same thing. Workbench uses Intuition, however. Workbench is a type of program which is known as a "shell".
You might find the first paragraph of this wikipedia article of interest - apparently you aren't the only person who assumed that because the AmigaOS disk shipped at one time with "Workbench" stamped on it that Workbench was an OS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workbench_%28AmigaOS%29I dont consider DOPUS to be a Workbench replacement one bit.............just as DiskMaster 2 is NOT a Workbench replacement............its simply a file manager. You cant install DOPUS without Workbench and expect to have a FUll Operating system with icons on the desktop and all and have alll applications work for DOPUS. Its just fancy file manager.
Correct, Dopus is just a fancy file manager. However, unless Dopus uses functions or structures contained in Workbench, it would be possible to use Dopus without Workbench being present. Workbench, although very prevelant, is just another program, like Dopus.
Amiga's Disk Operating System (AmigaDOS) is Workbench as a Whole.............thats the way I will always see it
AmigaDOS and Workbench are not the same thing. However, Workbench uses AmigaDOS. Hopefully this clears things up a bit.
