(One thing I would LOVE to know about a program I am about to buy is whether it will trash my ramdisk -- my copy of Deluxe Paint does this and frustrates me to no end) If we can come to agreement on a list, I would be more than happy to receive and collect letters from folks giving the information about software they have bought (I bet we could get information on a TON of it...), and then repost results. Also, it would probably be good to include approximate purchase date because different versions of the same program change through time. derek Derek Zahn @ Wisconsin USENET: ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,ucbvax}!uwvax!derek BITNET: derek at wiscvm ARPA INTERNET: derek@kontiki.cs.wisc.edu "Someone's always sitting in the only place to hide."
