- First, I'll say, that I had the chance to see Directory Opus 3.41 with one
- of my friends here in Denmark, and that it has a terrible bug:
-
- When moving e.g. a directory call 'C' from somewhere to your SYS:C and you
- move the directory (not the files singlehandedly), it deletes the
- destination 'C' directory before copying the source to it!
-
- So I bought DiskMaster II, but:
-
- I have seen another bogus version of DirOpus called 3.52 -- I'm informed,
- that it is entirely incompatible with the 3.41 configuration and has
- several serious bugs in it. Better beware of that one, too...
-
- I haven't seen it, though, as I'm very happy with DiskMaster, so this is
- all as-is information... call it a rumour for what I care, but be warned
- about it!

-
- I inquired about the dorex.library, but no-one has seen it around 3.52...
