BetterWB - release 1.0

[TheBilgeRat]

very cool!  I will give it a go here soon when I get my 3.1 ROMS in the mail and upgrade to 3.1

Now, when it says drives up to 8G in size, does this mean that the total drive size is 8G, or that max partition size is 8GB?

[TheBilgeRat]

So, installed this - looks good!  The icons on my setup are a little funky and seem like they are made for MagicWB or somesuch.

[TheBilgeRat]

Well, I couldnt find any source of good 4 colour workbench 3.1 icons, and some of them were borrowed from MagicWB, if you happen to find proper replacements, please let me know, so I fix the offending ones.

BTW, I am glad you like it.

They're fine-it makes it easy to know which ones are new :lol:

Hey Gulliver!

I've been playing around with the betterWB and found the unixDirs3 in the commodities drawer.  Pardon my ignorance, but if I throw that baby into my startup folder, do I get an AmigaDos CLI that behaves like a unix command line?

[TheBilgeRat]

No, what you get is Unix style paths, like: cd.., cd..., cd...., *, etc., from the usual CLI. For more information, just read the UnixDirs3.guide located in your SYS:Locale/Help/

sweeeet.  will do.

Can't read them for some reason.  Opening the mwith multiview gives me the front pages, but then it complains and says that they cannot be opened.  Must be something in my setup.

[TheBilgeRat]

Multiview fails on very low memory conditions. If that is the case, then boot without startup-sequence by holding both mouse buttons and the run multiview from the cli. Another solution, not ideal though, is to open the .guide with a text editor such as ed, textengine, or microemacs.

if I'm eating 2M chip and 16M fast I am doing something wrong indeed.  I'll try it with memacs and see where I get.

EDIT:  Opens fine with ced.  I shall have to figure out what the hey.  I'll give your solution a go with early startup and execution from CLI
