Enhanced wildcards and patterns were introduced with 2.0, i think, with the inclusion of work done by "AmigaDOS Research Project", aka ARP.
You can add the arp.library and the commands to 1.3, but you have to be aware of some changes of course. Sko rtfm. ;)

You really only have to check for the first longword of the file equals 0x03F3, which indicates an executable. If you find an icon too it is probably a Workbench app.

Edit: spelling.

You can add a nice little toolbar/dock to WB1.3 as well, and, as it turns out, it now has the WBStartup feature as well:

@Joloo
It wasn't my intention to undermine your efforts, please continue. :)

But WBdock is indeed a nice addition to a classic Workbench 1.3.
