I've used many many windowing systems and not one of them is truly inadequate. Actually, I've used many windowing systems and not one of them was *adequate*. :) Though Intuition with its multi-screen approach comes close to what I want. It's such a bastard to program though.... Amiga Workbench: Nice multitasking, but this is the least user friendly windowing system I've seen. You can't get by without the CLI. Nice and fast because of the BlT, though. The displays are real ugly. In general the graphics are not as good as they could be because of the poor quality of the monitors used on most amiga systems. Ahh, so Workbench is supposed to be the windowing system? Hmmm. (I can't say much on that, 'cause I used Workbench exactly once before retreating to the CLI someone'd already customized for me.) -- Robert Jude Kudla Pi-Rho America \\ /// "Shooting stars never stop, 2346 15th St. \\ /// even when they reach the top."
