A little while ago, I thought I saw a file in AmigaUser that provided a randomly selected WB backdrop file upon startup. I can't find it now. I remember that it was uploaded in August 1994 and that the name started with "WBP". Can anyone give me help finding it? Usenet: Ernie_Gorrie@mindlink.bc.ca Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada

Ernie, There is "MAGSEL.LHA" in AmigaUser that will do the job for you, but you need MUI to make it work. I use it on my A3000 with OS3.1 with no problems. It works with WBPattern in OS3.1. There is also "BACKDROPS20.LHA" which works nicely with NickPrefs in OS2.x and WBPattern in OS3.1. But MAGSEL.LHA is a little more user friendly. / / Flying The A3000 on AutoPilot 1.74 \/\/ from Durham,Ontario.

There are 4 files that start with WBP. Go into any library and type BRO WBP* ALL and they will be displayed to you. -sja

I'm using AutoPilot (you may be familiar with it :), so I was hoping to be able to get the information without having to go interactive with CIS. I had the files in my AmigaUser.lst file. But every time I tried to download one of them, CIS said the file did not exist. So I deleted my AmigaUser.lst file, made a new one going back to 28 March 94. I still can't find the files. Any hints?

Then go into the Download requester, hit the Find gadget, select all the libraries, in the Filename gadget type in WBP then hit the Ok gadget. The 4 files will be displayed. Do note that as the New Flash warned for weeks and messages left in the Forum Business section stated last week, the message sections and libraries have been moved around. Unless you have updated your catalog in the last few days the files you are looking for are likely not to be where AutoPilot thinks they are.
