- I think I may have been a little unclear...in any event, after reflecting on
- dirman a little more, the biggest reason I deleted it was the shareware
- screen that kept popping up after a couple of minutes into the app. I was
- starting dirman only when I wanted to do some work with it and then getting
- real annoyed when that box would pop up in the midst of what I was trying to
- do. I found that if I was in the middle of dragging a file around, it would
- sometimes force me to restart the operation I was attempting.
