@{u}What is it?@{uu}

    The Gueum is a Workbench replacement with a lot a new features.

@{u}Why ?@{uu}

    The Workbench is the same since release 2.1 of the AmigaOS. Features,
    that comes with release 3.0 was not supported by the Workbench itself.
    In addition, the workbench works with a unique task. So, when the
    workbench is working, you can't do anything more with it. That's pity
    with our multitasks OS. With release 2, the workbench can send
    information to external application (AppIcon, AppWindow, etc..) but
    external application can't send information or request to the Workbench!
    That's why you need The Gueum! (see below)

@{u}Features ?@{uu}

    * Complete Workbench emulation.
    * Multitasking.
    * Contextual Menu (Based on Datatypes).
    * NewIcon support.
    * Large API.
    * ARexx support.
    * Allow Drag&Drop between external application.
    * Extended workbench features.
    * More Graphical interface (eg. Copy, Delete, etc...).
    * Completely configurable Menu.
    * A lot of sub-modules can be replaced. (Allowing, for example, the
      choice of the GUI like Gadtools, ClassAct, Mui...)

    And More...

@{u}When ?@{uu}

   STOPPED.

   May release the current version a day just for fun (not really usable and
like to play with Enforcer...)

    Thanks to Datatypes, an app can load files (eg. pictures), without knowing
the type of the file. It can load GIF, JPEG or PNG pictures without specific
code.

    But few commercial apps use this feature which comes with Workbench 3.0.

    It's the purpose goal of HappyDT: HappyDT acts just like a filter between
programms and pictures (or sounds) . When an app tries to load a picture (or a
sound) saved in an unknown type, HappyDT converts it in an temporary IFF file.
In this way, the app acts just as if it loaded an IFF picture.
    In addition, if the picture (or sound) is packed, HappyDT can unpack it
with Xpk or Xfd.
    The unregistered version have some features disabled but haven't any
remind requester or time limit.

    msql.library is an Amiga shared library that offer the required api to
access a mSQL database engine.
    Without it, you'll need to link your application with the static msql
library.
    With it, you can access a mSQL server with any language! :)
