lol, with my os3.5 setup I started with only a couple of hacks and now I
have got nearly as many running on it again! (got DOpus running now though
as wbr)

well.....
(this is the MCP from one of the earlier AACD's)
_*commodities (ie. not hacks)*_
assignprefs = thats cut my boot time down by about 10-15secs I reckon
mousespeeder = the standard one is toooo slow
powersaver = for me monitor
procesor = for the 040 speedups (dont have oxypatcher here)
pubmodes = stops requester and screens flippin all over da place
snap = to grab text from other places (dont work very well though here :-/ )
trackdiskprefs = stop that darn floppy clicking! (get a good nights kip
now!)
hotkeys = let me use lshit+lalt+Del to warm reset my miggy (eyetech i/f dont
like it :-/) and ctrl+lalt+ralt to coldreset it :-)
_*hacks...*_
assignwedge = mega useful hack for assigning on the fly
newedit = got it selected here, cant rememeber what it does though (perhaps
extra cursor control and so on?)
hmmm.. the screensmenu works now does it? last time I tried it with OS3.5 it
locked my system up! :-/
Well thats some useful things I use it for :-) (wouldnt be without it now)
Quote carefully and read all ADMIN:README mails
