Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 2.4
BetterWB is a new workbench pack, much like AIAB, Amikit, AmigaSYS, ClassicWB, etc. but applying a totally different aproach. It aims to be much like an enhancement, an updated extension to AmigaOS 3.1, without all those hardware requirement penalties typically associated with these kind of packs.

Changes in version 2.4:
  • Some minor components got updated
  • Compact disk player with lots of great features (ACDPlay)
  • SetJoyPort is a program that improves the chances of using a CD32 style joypad with all games
  • ClickNot commodity prevents floppy drives from issuing those excessive clicking sounds
  • Break command can now accept multiple targets, find a program by CLI number, command or task name, etc
  • Copy command has increased its functionality quite a lot
  • Sort command uses standard I/O channels as a default, which makes Sort quite useful in I/O pipes. It will sort as much text as fits in your RAM
  • Join command has been heavily enhanced and includes lots of new options
  • Avail command now has a few more options
