Yeah, I probably shouldn't have made a sweeping generalisation like that 
without saying that's exactly what it is. Of course, many full versions 
of coverdisk packages are really poor. 

But others (Dir Opus 4, Cygnus Ed 3.5, for example) are very, very good 
programs that will probably stay on many people's hard drives. And those 
with both of those will probably not want another dir util or editor for 
a long while. I wonder how many Dir Opus 4 coverdisk owners actually 
upgraded to Dir Opus 5.
