#V1.2

STEVE, let me fire the rumor mill some more. The Dayton ASIG distributed a copy of a Version 1.2 Kickstart and Workbench. This version says "release 1.2" not prerelease or Beta 1.2. The version number is 33.679 (from the workbench item "version"). Something must be available because I just received an update of SCRIBBLE! and they discussed WB 1.2 to no end stating that it (Scribble) contains several new features only supported in 1.2 and that 1.2 was supposed to be much faster(disk cache-ing ). That's all I know. If anyone knows particulars about the following commands, send me some mail addbuffers TypePause BindDrivers addmem Diskchange Diskdoctor clrcli My 1.2 disk may have been adulterated (I have a copy of a copy) so that some the above may be nonesense. Hope this helps

Roger, You're missing 1, "Mount"…. 1. addbuffers, used to add disk cache buffers for faster access to disk info that has already been accessed once. 2. Type…the same as on 1.1 3. Pause…not a 1.2 item but from our DL's, adds an MS-DOS type pause to CLI commands. 4. Diskchange…used to signal a change in a disk on a 5 1/4" drive 5. Diskdoctor…used to try to recover trashed disks. 6. Binddrivers….used to "bind" autoconfigurable additions to system. humm…well, I scrolled your message off while typing this so don't remember the others you had listed…Oh, yea CLR, also from the DL's, a simple screen clear and of course CLI is just the standard CLI. Don
