Is this useful now? I read previous posts where people claimed it did not recognise much software.
Well, I don't remember that it would have been said about MorphOS version of Grunch that much. For MorphOS it has always had quite nice collection of stuff, not all of course, so you might want to look MorphOS Files and Aminet too, but quite nicely and most of the important stuff at least. I recommend to do basic installation of MorphOS with Grunch, and then look elsewhere if there's more stuff you'd like.
But for 68k it has been quite useless what I've heard (haven't tried myself though). Not enough support there.
