This is a sort of Workbench clone. It's possible to run it on any public screen
including the Workbench screen itself and it's possible to run as many copies of
it as there's enough free RAM. You can call this as "virtual desktops" or
"spaces" of Amiga. HyperBench is one executable and it does not replace any
system files !

- AISS is part of AmigaOS 4.1 installation but otherwise one can find it from
os4depot.
- Special "video icons" feature requires MPlayer installed either in
sys:Utilities/MPlayer/ or C:.
- Images to icons feature requires image2icon installed in C:.
- Map to a network drive requires SMBFS installed in C:.
