BEFORE YOU START

A familiar setup.

AmigaOS 3.2 and a 68020 are recommended. Free memory needs depend on your index and plugins. Workbench launching uses workbench.library V44+ when available, with a fallback for older supported systems. Optional integrations need their host applications.

See compatibility and testing coverage.
