I've been trying for a really long time to get my datatypes to work, and I
can't figure it out for the life of me. I have d/l'ed some datatypes from
aminet and insstalled them like this.

I have a SYS:devs/datatypes directory, containing:

[4][Workbench:Devs/DataTypes] ls
AmigaGuide  FTXT        JFIF        WAVE
BMP         GIF         VOC         exe


then I have a sys:classes/datatypes directory, looks like this:

[4][Workbench:Classes/DataTypes] ls
VOC_DT.Doc           bmp.datatype         text.datatype
ZGIFDatatype.Doc     exe.datatype         voc.datatype
amigaguide.datatype  gif.datatype         wav.datatype
ascii.datatype       jfif.datatype


I also have a line in my startup-sequence: 

C:AddDatatypes REFRESH QUIET



Does this look like everything is set up correctly? That is the extent of my
set-up.. should datatypes work now? I've never gotten them to work in any
program.. I'm trying to get IBrowse to have inlined gifs, or MultiView, or
ANYTHING, nothing wants to work for me. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance..
