Scalos has been available to Amiga users for many years. It was originally written by Stefan Sommerfeld of ALiENDESiGN. His aim was to create an expandable, functional replacement for Workbench without losing any of the style and grace that we love about the Amiga. Stefan has since passed the reins over to Satanic Dreams Software. We are now developing this exceptional software. Stay tuned!
