It is very obvious that I've missed something big about this program. I heard a lot about it, how it'd simplify maintaining files and in ways be better than NC/2 (which it perhaps is, since I haven't tried it). So, a couple of days ago I downloaded it and played some with it, and from that moment I've wondered what it is that people see in this utility. What have I missed? I don't find it to be easier to use than WPS itself, with it's drives objects, and with occational switches to a 4os2 shell. Neither does it give me more power. _ /Bjorn. -- #include "vitty_saying.h" // Bjorn Fahller Phone: #include "disclaimer.h" // Trollnasvagen 3A Intl:+46 920 226870 // Hey, what do I do with this // S-951 61 Lulea Natl:0920-22 68 70 // space I didn't use to have? // Sweden
