Coverdisk software was MED v3.00 and a game called Amiga-Tanx (link to details of game http://hol.abime.net/5409 )

Also a graphics ripper and a program for designing garden layouts.

The workbench replacement was something called WorkStation. This was a program based on a shareware package called SID. If I remember correctly; this was an early version of DOpus.


SID was like DOpus in function, but not an early version of DOpus itself. That came from a different stable - in fact Directory Opus was called something else before IIRC, but the name escapes me. SID was followed by SID II, which was a commercial product.

Were you after those programs? I do have that copy of Amiga Computing somewhere, but I'm not certain about the coverdisk. Even if I do have it, the chances that it would still work are pretty small.

I should add that the WorkStation was just SID plus some additional freeware utilities, with SID being configured to access them directly. At least I think that's what it was.
