OK, that all makes sense.  But what about this:

Integrate  IPrefs  into  Workbench,  and take Workbench out of ROM and onto
disk.   That  makes  Workbench more easily changed (and Workbench, IMHO, is
one  of  those  things that needs lots more upgrading), and more integrated
(though  I  suppose  it doesnt really matter, it just seems "nicer" to have
Workbench and IPrefs integrated :).

Also,  how  "insane"  would  it  be  to  try and write a complete Workbench
replacement?   You  (well, ME, if I decide to try it) would have to replace
all  the  functions  in Workbench.library, etc, and of course a replacement
for IPrefs.

As for conclip, that does seem the best way to do it.

Thanks for answering my questions..

sorry, won't work - I've got a 2090a and a archive 60Mb here, all amiback
did was lock the machine when told to talk to the tape. As is well know
the 2090a's implementation of scsi_direct just doesn't cut it

Best bet is probably to buy a cheap scsi controller (BriWall have CBM 2091's
for $80US), or to use BTNtape 2.1 (it knows how to work around the 2090a's
probs, but it's limit for me is you can't access the scsi hd and the scsi
tape at the same time, and since I've got the tape drive _just_ to backup
the 300Mb scsi drive in the same enclosure...) 

btw - tip of the week, did you realise the MFM side of the 2090a can handle
1:1 interleave, but for some reason CBM's roms only format it at 2:1? I've
reformatted it (using CBM's 2090a adv diags) and read speeds have gone from
260K/s to over 400K/s .... why CBM only normally uses 2:1 is beyond me

Doubled. There's no point to ARP once 2.0 came out. Now a 2.0 emulation
package for 1.3 might have a point, but 2.0 solved pretty much every problem
ARP was intended to address.

Perhaps  they meant in terms of the cost of implementing the design and the
interface?   That  is,  it  wouldn't  cost  much more to implement a CD-ROM
interface than it would a floppy interface.

NONONO! The first time I saw a CDTV, it looked like my audio CD player with
a Nintendo pad.  And that's basically what a stock CDTV is: A CD based
Nintendo.  Yes, you can add a keyboard and other things to make it a 
CD based A500, but that's really an ineffecient way to get a CD-ROM on
an A500 and get support for it.  C= doesn't need to release yet another
CDTVish machine.  They don't even need to release another machine!  All
they really need to release is a standard driver (maybe a CD-ROM drive)
that'll let you read the ISO (and perhaps the Mac HFS) stuff.  Under
3.x, that's a snap!  Add one file to the workbench disks in the 
devs/DOSDrivers directory, and that shold be quite enough to encourage
developers.
"Bundle a CD-ROM with a 1200/4000"?  Yes, but make it an add-on option.
Make "CDTV II"?  No.

Well by your standards C= should be releasing Amiga's with holographic
memory any day now...better start saving the pennies.  CD rom drives are
only now becoming an economical and accepted form of mass storage and C=
is reacting to it through the release of the A-570 addon for the Amiga
500 which includes a CD-Rom and expansion potential for a hard drive and
extra memory.  I thought you'd like to know.  At the same time
integrating the equivelant of CD-rom plus CDTV widgetry has to be shrunk
to the size of a 5.25 bay does take work and it is my perception that
there are moves in this direction.

pnmtops works fine on: post 1.7, ghostscript, HP Laserjet III,
Apple Laserwriter, Pacific Page XL for HP LJ III, Ultrix Display
Postscript tool (dxpsview) and OpenWindows pageview. It is accepted
by several UNIX postscript handling tools I have and conforms fully
to the Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPSF) from Adobe. I can also
include pnmtops generated output into TeX with dvips.

It isn't optimal regarding file size but for most situations it is
the fastest way since the readhexstring operator used is usually
executed much faster than any decompression routine written in postscript.

I wonder what you did use...

I have had my Amiga500 for about a year, and have only just noticed that
when I click onto the WorkBench screen, it says...

 "Workbench release 1.2."

Arrrrrggggggg!!!!!!!!!!  Why does it say this, my computer is WB1.3!  Is
there a program which displays this which may have been replaced with a
WB1.2 version, or is my A500 getting a split personality?

     I believe this is normal as I run MSH on my machine here at home.
I get the same with 6.04 and 6.19, i.e. non-recognition of msdos floppies
