- Half, half. WB is part of the OS. And if I want to access Pubscreens from
- the OS side, I write my own program, that does a OpenScreen(). But as I
- want to profit from the OS capabilities as a user, I want to access this
- from Workbench. Is this that hard to understand ? What woud you call ARQ ?
- Is it OS, just because it uses OS functions ? No, it is a program, so why
- not having WB have such programs built in ?

- Hmm... I do not see differences. Have an util like PowerSnap, and
- something like OLE on Windows. Do you know OLE on Windows ? That one is
- really good !

- Well, I remember myself having had problems een masse with it at the
- beginning. I also read other users writing it sucks (from CLI) I do it all
- by WB or with DOPUS or with SuperDuper.
