If you're linking with the standard startup.o (i.e. not minstart.o), the
startup code gets the workbench startup message for you, and stores
it in a global variable called WBenchMsg. As you say, there's no separate
wbmain() entry, so instead you have to check WBenchMsg in main().

Your best bet is to do something like this:
extern struct WBStartup *WBenchMsg;
int main()
{
if(WBenchMsg) /* This will be NULL if we started from shell */
{
/* Get icon and do ToolTypes stuff */
}
else
{
/* use ReadArgs (or use GetProgramName()/Dir() to fetch the icon,
and use ToolTypes again.) */
}
return(0);
}
All the best,
Hehehehe, 2400 baud sucks! V.bis and Baudhead.
