Workbench 1.3 software compatibility list
 

In order to help our friend Bloodwych to create a ClassicWB 1.3 version, (or anyone that wants to create a WB 1.3 setup), there is a list of software TESTED under AmigaOS 1.3. Some are Freeware/Shareware and can be found on Aminet or Fish Disks.

Note: I have specified the software version tested by me, in some cases maybe newer versions can work too under Workbench 1.3.

Feel free to add/modify titles, or to start a Wiki Project :)

Scala MM200
Scala Video Studio/VS113

Thanks to Cammy and gulliver, list updated.

List updated with other free/commercial titles.

I found a good source of (legal) commercial software, the CU Amiga Magazine cover disk collection, available at AMR here: http://amr.abime.net/coverdisk_index_6

ppsh41, just thought I'd let you know I've started work on this:

Thanks again for your kind help.

DiskMaster http://kazong.privat.t-online.de/DM2V34.zip last version that works under 1.3 kickstart.

It's one of the best file managers on the Amiga and highly, highly customizable. Probably would be a better choice over Dopus.

Still a fun project and hope we'll see a release fairly soon :)

And other fine Shell replacements (apart from ZShell): WShell and CSH

JST 1.4
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=686111#post686111

A few extras I thought of that should work on Kick/Workbench 1.3:

• ASM-One v1.20 - Assembler (www.theflamearrows.info/documents/asmone.html)
• Csh 5.19 - Un*x like Shell (Fish Disk 624 on Aminet:misc/fish/fish-0624.lha)
• DCopy 3.1 - disk copier similar to xcopy (Aminet:disk/misc)
• ReOrg 1.1 - Disk optimiser (Fish Disk 297 on Aminet:misc/fish)
• Virus Z 3.07 - Anti-virus (Fish Disk 902 on Aminet:misc/fish)

Also, looking at ppsh41's original list, there are newer versions of certain items which should still work on Kick/Workbench 1.3:

• ARTM 1.7 (Fish Disk 887 on Aminet:misc/fish)
• BootX 4.50 (Amiga Format coverdisk 41b). Alternately BootX 4.45 (Fish Disk 641 on Aminet:misc/fish)
• Hippoplayer 2.45 (Aminet:mus/play)
• LZX 1.21 appears to be the latest version - there is no version 1.92 (Aminet:util/arc)
• Mostra 1.08 (Fish Disk 753 on Aminet:misc/fish)
• PPMore 1.8 (Fish Disk 542 on Aminet:misc/fish)
• PPShow 1.2a (Fish Disk 542 on Aminet:misc/fish)

• DSound150 - a very nice 8SVX/IFF Player for Workbench 1.3/Kick 1.3

http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/DSound150

• XLPlay 1.10 by Pantaray, Inc. Ukiah CA - great tool to play CDXL movies with sound!!! :great
• HAMVID.RUN, HAMNEW.RUN - As far as I know the only full screen HAM6 videoplayer for Workbench 1.3 / Kickstart 1.3. ;)
  Thank you very much for his great work to TJ Edmister aka damage_x from the New york amiga group on Yahoo

Hi,
don't forget the great score composing tool Aegis Sonix! :great

Redit 1.2 - a nice text editor - http://www.kaiiv.de/redit/de/

TurboCalc V2.1 - great calculation tool like Excel - I think TurboCalc V3.5 works under Workbench 1.3 / Kick 1.3 too but I haven't tried.

Icon Paint 1.0 #Icon manager

Where can I get this, can't find it on aminet.

SID 1.06
http://aminet.net/package/misc/fish/fish-0338

I've just come across this guide / video / collection of icons to 2.0-ify 1.3 and give it 8 colors. Might be of interest to others

http://shot97retro.blogspot.com/2020...-13-icons.html

Are there any GUI based archivers like Packmaster that operate on Workbench 1.3?
I tried Packmaster 1.28 but it resulted in a software failure. Maybe there is an older version that works?

When you have a lot of LHA files using shell becomes quite tiresome :lol

DOpus or some other filemanager can help you.

List lformat temp scripts into the ram disk and off you go. :-)

@ppsh41 thank you so much very helpfull list :)
