- For the sake of many, please stick with the ASL one. The 2.04 one may not
- be the fastest, but it is a standard. I'm sure it will be improved in new
- OS revisions, and besides that, it is a standard, something that has been
- sorely lacking on the Amiga - I hate having to use some file requesters. At
- least if it is the ASL one, if people choose to, they can run MFR, or
- something along those lines and face no problems.
