Really??? Admittedly, I use OPS (Meikos' version of TDS) but the number of times that
I've lost files (yes, complete files) due to OPS being unable to update a file (eg due
to the underlying filestore being full) has been really really annoying!!!

And wouldn't it be great to be able to jump to exactly where you wanted in the 24th
nested fold (in one go)!


Now, who wants to inform me a bit more about this toolset....
