A new archiving program was just posted to info-mac archives
the other day and I downloaded and played with it a bit
this evening... Now I have a couple questions.

It was stated that this is a full-featured demo, just
with a 1-month expiration date.  What I'd like to know
is if the demo has the same user-interface as the
commercial release because:
   1> It's got the worst user interface I've ever seen.
      (We're talking UGLY -- time for the brown-paper bag!)
   2> The About dialog is COMPLETELY illegible.  Lines of
      text overlapping all over the place.  (I assume
      someone forgot to call SetDAFont().)
   3> Is there going to be a PD unpacker?  Face it, it'll
      never become a standard if everyone has to pay to
      unpack.

I'm sure I could think of some more questions, but that'll
do it for now...
