I know that but you have to specify a tool type for Deficons! What if you
try to open a file without a deficon or you have a deficon but nothing that
can open it? A 'word' document for instance? I'd like to see a 'word' lib so
that word documents could be opened in Wordworth, Shell or whatever! The
point is that you should be able to open non Amiga programs by dropping a
suitable file in 'Libs' to decypher it! Ease of use is the keyword! I don't
want to install huge files all over the place, simply one file in the 'Libs'
drawer that will do all the work!
It's a case of 'I can't read this.....hang on, I'll look in the Libs drawer
to see if there's a decoder I can use....oh yes, here we go!'

Richy.
