Strangely,
i ve never bothered to create a HD partition with Winuae.

I just created a folder in XP for my os3.9 and dumped the cd into that (with the winuae files), called strangely `Workbench3.1`...

And i suppose that if i were to add a real amiga HD onto the machine i would use a real amiga to format it anyway...

What do ppl use a `winuae HD file`  for anyway, is it faster?

@Holley
Hum,
i just tested by renaming a file to `aux` , and it works ok (??),

 and i seem to have all six options  available (archive, read, delete etc) in the filetypes (??)

i forgot to mention that it was xp pro and a fat32 FS on the partition with WINUAE...

And i`ve never had any problems with corrupt file, after winuae crashes (and there have been many during my experimentations)

perhaps it`s just my machine?
 or the new beta2 winuae?

i should add that i have the convience of reading an amiga file with a  PC application...

see, i just read a backup user-startup from my S: drawer

Hum,
i would Unreservedly recommend Ibrowse...
I have tested Aweb and Voyager; in the distant past, Voyager was the bees knees, but unfortunately it hasn't improved (for me; so best to stick to the very old, and stable, versions), and trying to make a website compatible for it while retaining most of the features for other browsers is a nightmare...
Aweb on the other hand is free, but doesn't cut the ice.
 i still have all three versions on my system but i can see no reason to ever switch from ibrowse while surfing  most sites.

Link site here.

hum,
I would just download some classes/gadgets to dump into that drawer"
Current_Classes.lha here!


[Check the version numbers and if you see a newer version just rename the old one and copy...]

BTW have you tried Ibrowse yet? ;)
