[net.micro.pc] Ultra Utilities

"BorchersBob"@LLL-MFE.ARPA (11/24/83)

I picked up a copy of the Ultra Utilities mentioned in the last digest
from one of the local bulletin boards.  They look quite useful and
seem to work in a short test.  I am not familiar with the Norton
utilities so I cannot compare.

Unfortunately they are not free, but are distributed under that
variant of the freeware concept which asks you to register for $40,
after which they send you a copy (along with other "goodies") that has
your own personal serial number.  Every time a copy of yours is
registered you get $10.  This has some of the attributes of a classic
pyramid scheme.  This is not to say that the package might be worth
the money, PC-TALK certainly is, but it is certainly not free
software!
