 After all the stuff posted about disk express II, I have a question and my
first impressions of DE2.  I  have used Disk Express since version 1.0, and
have upgraded ever since.  Alsoft mailed me version 2.01 of the new release,
and a friend told me that there might be bugs in the .01 release, so I called
Alsoft.  They answered in under three rings, and after I gave them my id# and
address, they told me they would gladly send the "latest" version out to me.
 Well, two days later (UPS second day?"blue"), I got a package with a 2.03
disk.  I have had no problems with the product, and (personally) after trying
to program my mac am amazed at how clever their programmers must be....
 Basically, I am a happy camper and suggest that Alsoft is responsible.  They
seem to have fixed their product in under a week...which is a lot better than
some others.
 THE QUESTION: I want to use desktop manager with my system.  For Disk Express
II to work properly (can it with DM) do I set the appleshare volume box or what?
A rapid reply would be greatly appreciated by me and said friend.  My only idea
for changes in DE2 is a way to set when you want its 'new day' to begin.  I am
often working on my mac at midnight.....and setting the 'auto' off then on is
just a hastle.  Well, that's my biggest complaint.
