I dunno..  I checked out zApp, and I wasn't terribly impressed by it being
a quality library.  I then ordered Zinc and gave it a go..  Wasn't terribly
impressed with that either.. Although I think it's better than zApp, Version
3.0 just wasn't up to par for me..  So what's left?  StarDivision's
StarView.  Everything I've checked out so far seems to tell me that it's the
hottest thing around..  And oh.. If you're looking to get it soon, you'll
have to wait a week or so.. After the review, they completely sold out..
I'm looking into it now, and reciving a full working demo soon.. I can
post the results of my findings later..
