There's 2 different programs called Amidock on the Amiga. I suspect this is where the confusion lays. The one that comes included with OS3.9 is soooo much better than the other one.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Confusion? I think not, Amidock from OS3.9 is an ugly piece of bloated crap.

ToolManager and Polynet are so much better and both provide a lot more options than Amidock. I have used both  (Polynet and ToolManager) on Amiga OS3.x and MorphOS. For OS3,1 (what I use now) I prefer the older ToolManager (2.1b) but ToolManager 3.1 has a much nicer MUI prefs program.

Which has nothing to do with Amidock. Im simply saying that Runequestors problems with Amidock is due to the fact that there's 2 programs called Amidock

PolyNet NG 68K - does not work out of the box. Where do I get WBStart.library?
Could not include this in your distribution?

EDIT

found it on aminet, I think:

I think polynet requires a graphics card, or at least it's asking for CGX4.

What options are there for a dock app-launcher sort of deal for OS 3.1?
Preferably something that isn't a monster to set up :)


If you don't care much about eyecandy you could try Toolsdaemon, it's faster and more comfortable IMHO :-)

You beat me to it! :)

Don't forget to use the 2.2 patch if you do install it.

I'm toying with the idea of creating a new menu editor for it as the default one is atrocious and the Triton based TDPrefs2 isn't much better either.
