Lempkee: At this point I'm happy I don't need to rely on hacks for Png Icons.

Essentially this all boils to fact that AmigaOS has a lot old and klunky parts that are years late of major rewrite. This icon interface is limited to shared pen icons, anythign beoynd those causes a lot of work and carefull planing/testing to allow old programs to work while making new formats possible.

Lempkee: I don't belive this patch to do much good to MorphOS 1.4 on Pagasos. These machines allreasy have PNG icon support and working installer...

But there are stil people using older versions of MorphOS on their PPC-turbos. Those versions didn't have full Ambuient on them. So for them (and 68k Amigians) that patch is indeed having nice potential.

Yep. Heard that on Irc.. Anyhow.. This one tells quite a lot about MorphOS compatibility if someone is using OS3.X Workbench right atop of PPC-native Morphos on Pegasos.

Otoh: I'm having a lots of 68K stuff in this machine like: TCP/IP stack, Fat95, Amirc, TVPaint, Sid4Amiga, IBrowse, Rebol.. So it's not so big surprice that Workbench might work too.
