Well, Peter, the version I gave you was display-only.  V1.1 has the
ability to change  the protection bits and the comment (it displays the
date, too, which the version you got didn't do).  As soon as I'm convinced
that sending it to comp.{binaries,sources}.amiga will result in something
positive happening (and as soon as I make it a little more user-friendly,
v1.2) I will send it off to those groups.

The source/binaries groups started back up for a bit and then seemed to
have fallen flat again.  Is this just our site or is this universal?

As for doing Info for a workbench replacement, I think I would be
interested....I'll send mail to Yen Hsieh.
