- I used to have a program called HamBench that was more or less a hack for
- WB1.3 to make the WorkBench use HAM mode. It included a few icons, and put
- the WB into 320x200 mode. I don't have it anymore (and haven't for quite some
- time). I checked KingFisher and it isn't listed there. Nor aminet:index.
- Has anyone else heard of this one?
