It runs under both Dos and OS/2. : I took a look at e2 to make one of my review-like descriptions. I'm in no doubt that this may be a useful utility for the initiated. But for a newcomer the only word I can come up with is cryptic. My suggestion: This product needs a newcomer's primer. The exhoration to read the full documentation and experiment is insufficient. (Recall my ten minute rule. An experienced newcomer to a program must not be stuck after the first ten minutes.) ...................................................................
