Short description
Two workbench screens ON two different screens in the same time
Proposed name
Twobench
Full description
A patch that permit to open a workbench on a gfx board AND on the Amiga AGA.Many of us use two screens connected to the amiga, one on a gfx board and a 1084 or a TV on the Amiga port for games & demos. It would be usefull with two wb screens so you can for example have an IRC screen on the 1084 and other WB progs in the cyber screen. It may be possible because some tricky programs can display screens at the same time.

Comments
Even better - For us Newtek VideoToaster Users, 3 screens [built in RGB/VGA ports for one; Preview for another; Program for another]

Why? Well, I've thought of one application of role-playing games where the game master might have his own screen where he can see anything he wants, but the other one for the players only shows what they know or see. This could also be combined with two mice (2nd keyboard?) connected for real multitasking, Two people computing simultaneously on one computer. Could the PC do that? Could the Amiga do it with it's smoother multitasking system?

You can put one program (or two) on a public screen and switch back and 4th between screens. Why would you need to SEE them both at the same time? BTW, my old Apple II *could* do two displays simultaneously after I got it an 80 column card. I didn't have two monitors back then, but it would have worked (at least with programs that can redirect output).
