-----------------------

After months of anticipation, 1.2 is finally out (thanks C-A!), and I have a
copy. Now I can settle into the swing of things and really get some work
done on things which won't have to change when the "upgrade" is available,
right?

Well, almost. In the process of re-building the disks I use for development
work, I encountered a couple of problems. First of all, (and so far my
biggest problem) is that the Manx debugger 'db' doesn't seem to work 
anymore. When I try to call it up, it goes out and touches the disk, 
then gives me the CLI prompt back without doing anything. There was an 
article posted a while back showing how to get 'cc' and 'make' from 3.20a to 
work under workbench 1.2 by patching a couple of bytes in the executable 
files. Does anyone know of a similar patch for 'db'? (Yes, I know there are 
beta releases which are more up to date and probably work with 1.2, but I 
don't have one for now, and I figured this might be of general interest.)

Next, on one of Fred Fish's disks is a Menu Editor from Mantis Development.
This one seems to crash when I try to access the 'file' menu. It just locks
up the Amiga. No mouse movement, no keyboard response, nothing.

Finally, I couldn't get Steve Drew's shell (v2.01a) to recognize
anything other than built-in commands. I'd say it looks like it's ignoring
the 'path'.

In all fairness, I guess I can't really say I'm in a typical situation: I'm
not using the distribution Manx compiler disk. I generated my compiler disk
by duplicating Workbench, then copying the Manx-specific files over from my
old compiler disk. Also, I've replaced the 68000 with a 68010.
However, I would like to verify that I'm not the only one having this kind
of problems.

Thanks,
