I could be asking a dumb question I admit - but will this come to OS 3.9 on classic sometime ?

I don't think Stanislaw will ever port it to OS 3.9, and I frankly don't know if it would be feasible. Anyway, I'm happy I can now answer you directly from AROS!

[Edit] Why do I suddenly get the impression this is gonna be a {bleep} to get working properly.

Hi Tension. Here's the trick

- place OWB.tar.gz wherever you like (my default for downloads and so is pub: anyway)

- open a shell with rAmiga+W

- type in

cd extras:Networking/apps
untgz pub:OWB.tar.gz

- a new directory 'OWB' will be created and files will be exploded there

- type in

cd OWB
owb

that's all. If you like, you can open the drawers with Wanderer, choose show > all files and then ask icon information and save it. You'd better add some stack in the proper place, for istance 1000000.

(edit: changed suggested stack size from 500000 since it fixed some random sudden deaths on my machine)

What about ram?  Is a quarter or half gig enough?

After opening OWB, my memmeter lowers from 99% to about 90%, which means that 128 MB of RAM should be enough to run it (yes, I have placed 1 GB of RAM on my AROS box... after all, I paid it only 15 euros).
