- It is very obvious that I've missed something big about this program. I heard
- a lot about it, how it'd simplify maintaining files and in ways be better
- than NC/2 (which it perhaps is, since I haven't tried it). So, a couple of
- days ago I downloaded it and played some with it, and from that moment I've
- wondered what it is that people see in this utility. What have I missed?
- I don't find it to be easier to use than WPS itself, with it's drives objects,
- and with occational switches to a 4os2 shell. Neither does it give me more
- power.
