Anyone care to send me the pros and cons of using PC Tools Deluxe as opposed to other comparable utilities? This query is un-related to the recent for sale offer. I've been offered a copy and want to know if its worth using. Please respond via email if possible -ME

I've been using PC Tools Deluxe for a month or two. I can't say I'm all that thrilled with it. The backup utility won't do 'image' backups; the "Optimizer" program is a FILE defragmenter, rather than a DISK defragmenter; and the "MacTools" program is -- although ok -- nothing spectacular. One thing I DO like about the package, however, is the "Mirror-Rebuild" combination, which has resurrected my hard disk more than twice! I guess if I had it to do over, I would go for the Symantec (sp?) package (version 2). dp
