All MINE!!! *heh* > David Martosko E-mail:sage@eleazar.dartmouth.EDU > Dartmouth College HB 2216 Phone:(603) 640-4753 > Hanover, NH 03755 I just got PC Tools Deluxe from Central Point Software. Since I am a registered user of Copy II Mac, CPS has offered $18 (including s/h) for upgrading to PC Tools. Well, I think Symantec Utilities, as a whole package, is a better product for recovering deleted files, especially for recovering crashed disk, than PC Tools. However, for $18, it is one heck of a great value. PC Tools offer equivalency of Symantec Utilities' Guardian & Shield recovery systems, a file/text retriever DA (works in background!), a HD backup program (a kind of mediocre program, but the selection of folders to backup/restore gives me a good compliment to my DiskFit backup system), Data encryption/compression utility (I would still use StuffIt), Sector Editor and some other nifty goodies. In overall, I like it -- especially for $18, it is a steal. Yes, there are some quirks, and I am not too sure whether I would have bought it for the full price, but if you are a registered user of Copy II Mac, it is worth a shot. (PC Tools behave better with Multifinder, at least according to the manual) Standard disclaimers apply.
