DOpus4 Latest version

[mantisspider]

Nick are you talking about Directory Opus 5 Magellan II 5.82 ? Development seems to have stopped in 1999 from what I can see on its website :-( http://www.gpsoft.com.au/magellan/magellan.html

I havent got my Amiga up n running yet, due to work schedules (both 1200s sitting in a box by my bed still, but I got 2 new harddrives today for free).
From what I see DOpus5 is a workbench replacement, so isnt this made obsolete by OS3.9? In otherwords is it better to have DOpus5 sitting over workbench, than sticking with OS3.9?

Is DirOpus 4 just a file explorer, two file windows and a bank of buttons? so just used for quick file transfers? or is it looking like Dir Opus 6 for windows? preview of Directory Opus 6 for windows
that looks sweet especially the shared mode for background pictures.

a nice review for it sings its praise  Amiga Format review back in march 1999  but that was 4 years ago, so OS3.9 must have addressed the issues raised by DOpus?

..... help

i suppose its like if only a small percentage of windows users buy it, then its still more than if a large percentage of amiga users buys it.
shame really... looks damn hot on both platforms... latest windows versions has some fancy looking features.

damn that pesky bill gates... doh im writing this on a windows PC.... eeek
