It's a little buggy sometimes and can slow up on directories with a lot
of files,
but it's nice to have a familiar program in an otherwise alien
environment.

- Last: - it seems to me that shareware is changing for the worse - big
files
that take a real investment to download - not enough information to
decide
whether to install the program once you've downloaded it - installation
of files
and dlls all over the place - unwanted file associations and registry
edits, and
schemes that make the software difficult to use unless you decide to
fork over
the dough. - So when 19k of someones' creativity zips across the phone
line, I
remember the good old days (when vernon wasn't a millionaire eh?)
