It also comes with a file locator, sort program, memory tester, configuration program, cache performance analysis,... Seems very good and worth the $25 shareware cost. After my 30 days of trial I probably will register. -Jim Alves-Foss (foss@iris.ucdavis.edu) /* Of course these are MY opinions */ (foss@[127.120.57.20]) /* and may change without warning. */
