This reply is actually to the original sender and not Nuno but I'v edeleted that
post. Firstly congrats for buying DOpus once your used to it you wil never want
to go back to workbench. I still have Tools daemon but only because I like to
have 2 OS's set up ready to use. you don't need deficons unless like me you want
2 readyto use OS's but you may still need the icons as you can configure Opus
filetypes to use the deficons. If you like I can send you my Opus setup and
filetypes to get you going you can then configure them to please yourself. A
usefull website is www.magnumopus.co.uk he has a collection of redy to use
filetypes and there are other usefull downloads. I also hope to upload my own
collection of Opus buttons. Designed especially for those ppl using a plain old
Pal hires screen as I found most button collections the images are huuuge. I
wouldn't bother with the DOpus addon CD as most of it is on Aminet anyway and
also most of the versions are now quite old on that CD. I have most of my most
used programs started from my F keys and also a nice button bank mainly for
Internet proggies. Hope that lot helps drop us a line if you need any help or
any files to get you going.
