- Hello! Heres a reply to your questionaire...
-
- > 1. Which interface method should I use?
-
- > [?] Other: To tell you the truth, I would like whichever one uses the least memory. If I have a VC running fulltime in the background, I
- dont want it to hog memory. on the other hand, if you use it to just
- check files <I dont> make it as easy as posible. Preferably though,
- somethgn to just run in the background. hey, what about this? A MUI'ised
- file cheker, and a virtually non-graphical full time memory resident
- program. Would help onht ememory sid eof things. Dont know how easy it
- is to code, as I am not a coder.

- well, the first option is completely useless, the second is highly
- annoying, the third depens upon what is missing, but the trial period
- isnt a bad idea.
