This may be great for current Suitcase owners, but can anyone justify
the expense of purchasing it for Sys7?  Or for use now if they plan to
go to 7 as soon as it's out?

All it does now is let you group DAs in places other than the system
subfolders, right?  (Actually, DAs in the above sentence can be
replaced by suitcases, right?)

It seems to me that this product is history, realistically.  Unless
the number of people who continue to use sys6 is great, and they don't
now own Suitcase, but would buy it in the future.
