The biggest reason I abandoned PC Tools (after version 4) was if you
like to view a file, then mark it for deletion, this works awkwardly in
PC Tools v.5. If other files are already marked, it is awkward to
view the next unmarked file--the view facility wants to start viewing
with the first marked file.

Consequently I have moved to WindowDos 3. Blindingly fast, can show
up to 80 filenames on the sceen, saves trees (providing you don't change
drives), is small (about 54K) and totally memory resident, has a very
fast text that is effortless to get into. I no longer bother calling
external text editors from comm programs. I can even pop up over
memory hogs such as PC SAS, Word Perfect 5.1, Lotus. All the non-
power users in our lab swear by it.

(No connection with Window Dos Associates, just a satisfied user)
