I agree, this is a GREAT program. However, there is a slight quirk that can
drive you batty if you don't figure it out: the STARTUP.INF you create should
not contain ANY tab characters, or the program gets really confused (at least
in the version I am using) in unobvious ways.

Another great program is ACCSET.PRG which lets you keep accessories in another
directory than the root. Note that accask in STARTUP won't understand this,
though, so you might want to whip up an external program that does something
similar for a redirected accessory directory. (I wrote one, it's not hard.
If there is interest, I can post or email it.)
