- Actually I am running WorkBench 2.1 on my system using this program,

- I would say since the only started in Nov of 1995, thqat the guys who
- got all of this out in such a short time are damn good programmers.
- The DOS version is only a little over 100K.
- The only beef, I have with it is it's method for copying the Ami

- mode it chooses, but it is defintley my cards problem and not that of
- the software.
