Workbench attempts to search at locations defined through PATH command. PATH is invoked inside S:startup-sequence file.


Thank you very much :) I understand now. This is very interesting stuff ... I am looking forward to learn more on Workbench :)

To this day, I am still completely clueless on how to even use WHDLoad.  I go to the site with various games for download and I see that they are only around 48kb in size.  Game downloads are much bigger than that, so why these are only 48kb-100kb is unknown to me.  If anybody can give me an idea on what to do please let me know.  Thanks.

What you see are installers for games. You need the original disks to install on your HD.

On http://kg.whdownload.com/kgwhd/ you can download the whole Amiga Games package.

If you only want a specific game you can go to http://www.whdownload.com/ .

Thanks for the links amiga1260, but I have one more question.  You say that if I only want to install one game, I need to download the game, adf it to disk and then install it on a hard drive?  Is this correct or am I missing somthing?....This is why I find this WHDLoad so damn impossible to use.  

Thanks.

No. whdownload.com already has "installed" games available for download. Simply double click on the games' icon and get ready for some serious fun!

The fact you can install a non-HD installable game using WHDLoad with your original disk is brilliant. That was the original design of the program. Was never meant to be a vehicle for piracy. OR am I being naive and was that feature just a clever disguise? lol  In any event, it was inevitable that most of these whdload games would pop up publicly for download before too long.

Pirates is available for download while SimCity is not! I always thought it was because for legal issues ... the title SimCity is still owned by Firaxis as much as I know!

.. or that is the reason ... or else I am naive as well?
