I recommend NeoDesk.  You can draw your own desktop and program icons.
But those are minor enhancements.  It's other features for file
manipulation are simply superior to the normal desktop.  I don't use the
normal desktop anymore.  NeoDesk is much more fun.  It's one of my most
used and favorite programs for the ST (competing with UIS II).

If you have a hard drive or more than one meg in your machine, you should
consider getting NeoDesk very much.  If you have one meg and no
hard drive, then you should take a look at NeoDesk and see whether its
features outweigh its disadvantages.  It takes up 150K when it's installed
and running.  You can either keep it in memory when you load a program from
it (it's a shell), or have it erase itself from memory, in which it only
keeps 20K of itself in memory.  When you exit the program you loaded, it
loads itself back into memory.

BTW, does TOS 1.4 copy the same way that NeoDesk does, loading all the
files to be copied into memory and then dumping them to the destination?
Or does it copy them one by one?
