The interface is clean and I'll also add my appreciation for John Norstad's work and service to all Mac users in developing and giving away Disinfectant. One System 7 feature I'd like to see Disinfectant support is drag-and-drop, so that you could virus-check a file/folder by dropping its icon onto Disinfectant's icon. It would be a lot more convenient than navigating a Standard File Dialog to find the thing to be scanned. There is, of course, the issue of whether dropping an icon onto Disinfectant means merely to scan it, or to also attempt to disinfect it. That may be solvable with a popup dialog that asks which you mean. -- Michael Khaw Domain=khaw@parcplace.com, UUCP=...!uunet!parcplace!khaw ParcPlace Systems, Sunnyvale, CA PRODUCT INFO: info@parcplace.com
