- I just received HyperACCESS/5 V3.0 yesterday. It looks pretty good. The virus
- detection on download and spell-checker in the editor are nice features. I
- also like the ability to unzip .ZIP files as they are received.......

- I have been using TE/2 (registered), which I like. HyperACCESS/5 looks good
- too. I will be very interested to see the PM version!
