Adapt WB1.2

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Workbench 1.3 looking boring?

friggin' hell, I I had to work with monochromous ASCII DOS (command line only) 'till 1994 or so (and even after, I hardly used it for games 'till 1997), because Windows just consumed a hell of a lot memory and did not add much functionality.

No, Workbench was the best, compared to it's competitors.

Maybe you should get an A1200 with WB3.1, besides your A500 to fancy stuff up :-) (plus you got good compatability for more games, with OCS, ECS and AGA)

You're apsolutely right! It was beatyfull for it's time, and I would first go for functionality, but it's just fun to have at least a nice backgroud... Yes, I should get an A1200 with Harddrive, CD-Rom, AmigaOS 3.9 (that's soooooooooooooooooo nice :-D ) and all the things, but first let me discover the A500 :-D

You can also get a plain second-hand A1200 next to your A500

No, it's AmigaDOS. But it's a DOS version... There are a lot of DOS'es outa there, and I thought they all worked a bit the same... AmigaDOS, ofcourse, is much better

You mean, the CLI (Command Line Interface) or shell?

Yes, but what exactly do you want with it? I did not get your question.

[Speelgoedmannetje]

the c: (directory, tis no drive) is for system commands (format etcetera)
the s: is for the startup-sequence (similar to autoexec.bat)

from floppy it's
cd df0: (or df1:, or df2, you get it)
from harddisk it's
cd dh0: (dh1: etc.)

and then:
cd /
As far as I know the Amiga does not have specific extensions alike .exe to display executables (maybe there's some commando to do such but I do not know that) so you'll have to guess I think
