BestWB v1.2
-----------

BestWB is a workbench pack that aims to be much like an enhancement,
an updated extension to AmigaOS 3.1.4, without all those hardware
penalties typically associated with these kind of packs. It is indeed
a better 3.1.4 than 3.1.4 itself!

BestWB will suit anyone that wishes a clean AmigaOS experience without
the unneeded bloat often associated with these kind of distros. It
persues speed and usability and does not focus on eye candy.

Changes in this v1.2 update
---------------------------

New Features:

.WBDock is a customizable program that creates a dock bar that holds
programs for easier launch.

.PicShow is a powerfull and efficient picture viewer.

.ImageMount allows you to easily mount ADF, ISO and HDF image files.

.BestWB.guide has an introductory guide about BestWB, and is seen as a
Welcome! icon in Workbench.

.Added two low resource backdrops to optionally beautify your Workbench.

.Added 4 FullPalette settings.

Updates:

.MMULib 46.17 -> 46.18
.SnoopDOS 3.8 -> 3.9
.ToolsMenu 1.8.1 -> 1.9.1

Bugfixes:

-Added missing GlowIcon for SuperPlus monitor driver.
-Removed Ystart due to unstability.
-Removed CleverWIN due to incompatibilities with certain programs.

Tweaks:

-SnoopDOS now is configured by default to show only fails.
-Fullpalette is now allways active no matter what.

---------- NOTES & COMMENTS -------------

* BestWB has no problems with either 3.1.4 and its update (3.1.4.1).

* The WBDock commodity has its default config file in the WBStartup
drawer so better move it there if you want to run it. BTW, it is a
text file you can easily edit. Remember its documentations is in HELP:

* You will find two optional plug-in packages available. One that
removes DirWork and replaces it with Directory Opus, and another one
that installs WHDLoad 18.5. Both can be found in BestWB's website.

* Thanks to Thomas Rapp, Roger Håseth and ppil@EAB for letting me
use their material.

* Many users asked me for a way to send me money as gratitude and
incentive. BestWB is free and will remain free for all, but if you
want, I will gladly accept any paypal donation sent to
ignaciogully at gmail.com

* A couple of picture of the beast:
