Nah...only has two useful features..the click on desktop listers and the
integrated FTP support.....

The worst `feature` is how much slower it is than the real workbench and the
fact that icon.library and workbench.library changes get all f`d up....

Not worth it....not since we have Deficons, toolsmanager (or amidock),
ftpmount...only thing I need is that neat lister support....the `show by
name` options etc. are woeful in the standard workbench.
