- Norton Commander for OS/2 is quicker and if you registerd you should get a
- special offer of $50 flyer attached to an invitation to the OS/2 technical
- interchange. I have just recieved it today initial impression is it's worth
- $50 but not the $150 that is list. Fer Instance it does not make consistent use
- of the non-default mouse button. If there's any interest in further details
- e-mail me.
