I have just started using Smooth.com from the Vol.8,No.3 issue of PC Magazine. The ability to scroll smoothly with this program is terrific, and I especially like being able to scroll forward or backward or jump around in a document I am displaying. I like to use my 14" b/w monitor in 43-line modewnith an ATI VIP card, and all 43 lines display nicely. There are, however, two minor "featurse" which perhaps should be changed in a future release: 1. despite the write-up about the program, it does not scroll forward in the 132-column mode well at all. It will scroll backward lin 132-column display, but I don't often read from back to front. 2. When I'm not in 25-line display mode, I have to enter "cls" to get the screen working properly again. A minor irritant which I corrected by adding a second line to my smooth.bat file, saying "cls" Despite these irritants, it is a terrific program. I recommend it to everyone!
