I have a slight preference for Norton over Central Point stuff, although Central Point does include a lot of other stuff in their package but I don't need or want it. Norton is somewhat lighter in size and concentrates more on essential disk utilities and recovery. the new Central Point PC-Tools takes up many, many MB's, if you install everything I think it can be 7-8 MB or so. --------------------------------------------------- Michael Benedik Department of Biochemical and Biophysical Sciences University of Houston INTERNET: Benedik@UH.EDU BITNET: Benedik@UHOU
