Chris,  I don't say this often on the net but get a grip.  If 50 people have a
program and it is working beautifully for them then it is not a "piece of crap."

In most cases the person who is having the problem is running all types of hacks
that might cause problems for any program.  Now, rather than running a their new
program from a 'clean' 3.1 system, the troubled user boots from an disk with an
outdated DOS and a kludged system. Probably doesn't read the docs before having
"problems" either.

As far as speed UpdateDB for Find completes a complete file scan of my 4.4Gig
Micropolis, 240MB Quantum, and 80MB Quantum 3.5 times faster than FFS.

I am sorry my unknowledgeable friend but no file system is going to make SCSI I
faster.  The file system makes #access# to the files faster.  Therefore, your
"test" has little relevance to the real working of *both* the disk and the file
system.

Please become more knowledgable in how the system works before trying to flame
any program.  Besides it does little to advance the Amiga when decent programs
are flamed because of ignorance.  Why not go out and flame some Windoze
programs?
