desire to do so. The fact that these utilities are not "blessed" by some
faceless marketing wonder in West Chester does not bother *me* in the least.
I CAN make the WorkBench do what I want it to do, when I want it to do it. I
also have an alternative to use the CLI, which can ALSO be accessed from the
WorkBench, if I so desire.
I never said that you should design a better WorkBench, and no doubt it can be
improved, but I do say that IT CAN GET THE JOB DONE. That is what matters to
me – getting the job done.
WorkBench does not supply me a wordprocessor, either. BUT I can launch
WordPerfect, Excellence, ProWrite, or any number of other FROM THE WORKBENCH.
Should I demand that Commodore issue a WorkBench with a wordprocessor built in?
I think that's kind of silly.
WorkBench does not supply me a terminal program, BUT I can launch Access!,
OnLine!, Whap!, and a host of others FROM THE WORKBENCH. Is WorkBench broken
because it didn't come with a built in terminal program? I don't think so.
Every complaint you have made about the WorkBench so far has a solution, be it
built in or from an outside party. Sometimes, it may take a little effort to
get through to these solutions, but they are available to you. If you choose
not to use them, it isn't WorkBench's fault.
