...I was wondering if any of you can recomend some must have utilities for use with OS3.9.
:-? I can't believe nobody has already recomended Magic Menu.  It's useful.

A decent set of hard-disk utils is a must for any version. Defragmenters and the like...

@Anybody
What's the sketch with tools like ReOrg? Is there anything like it thats bang up to date in supporting the latest incarnations of the amiga filesystem?

Must have utilities?  Hmmm, let's see.

WB Enhancers: Magic Menu, Toolsdaemon and AmiDock
Text Editor: CygnusEd
Internet Connectivity: MiamiDx
File Manager: DOpus Magellan II (not as a WB replacement)
Image Manipulator: Art Department Pro
Sound: SPlayer and AHI.
Image Viewer: CyberWindow and MultiView.
CLI Enhancer: KingCON
Doctors: SnoopDOS and Disk Salv.

These are my 'must have' utilities and do not necessarily represent the choices of others.

Depends on the system. My 1200T runs an 8G drive, and ReORG is the only tool I can get to run on it for the drives using FFS. (SFS also comes with its own defrag tool. Not sure about PFS.)

This is my list for most usefully and needed

Dir Opus (4.x is free)
Tools Deamon already mentioned but better than what comes with 3.9
Magic Menu newest version fully compatable.
NO MCP I have many problems with this one on 3.9 BB2.
Even though I use Picasso on my Amithlon system I find Cybergraphics 4.0 far superior.
