Did you ever fancy writing your own workbench clone??
Well, then perhaps this sourcecode will be of help. It shows
you how i coded my desktop using BlitzBasic2.
It is quite slow due to the fact that blitz handles the
incomming port data, but it shows you that its not that
hard coding a workbench replacement.

I hope this helps somone out there!

Dont hessitate to write to me if you have some questions.
I have had the same adresse for 2 years now, and im not
about to change it.
