Title: BetterWB 3.3
Post by: Gulliver on February 21, 2014, 08:28:30 AM
BetterWB 3.3        21-FEB-2014

This is a new version of BetterWB workbench pack, that aims to be an enhancement, an updated extension to AmigaOS 3.1, without all those hardware requirement typically associated with these kind of packs. It is indeed a better 3.1 than 3.1 itself!

BetterWB works on any Amiga. It installs on top of a clean AmigaOS 3.1 installation. It is distributed as a set of floppy images and occupies about 10MB of harddrive space.

Changes since last version:

-Updated icon.library to version 46.4.332
-Added showboards command so that we can detect some ACA accelerators (WhichAmiga fails with some of them)
-Added PowerSnap commodity for enhanced clipboard functionality
-Redit 1.8 replaces the aging Ed and gives you much more functionality
-Added a new "IconSet" preferences app that lets you switch between different built-in icon types
-Plus Many more fixes and minor enhancements

You can download BetterWB from its homepage at:

Gulliver: You're still at this hugh? Very cool very cool! When I get the 1200 you sold me recapped, I'll have to put this on it in tribute to where it came from and all it's been through. :)

Sounds great!
That A1200 is indeed a survivor! :)

You should really change the title from "BoingBag 4" to something better fitting.
