Up front I recognize that Disinfectant is free (in fact I have version 2.3 on my Cx) and SAM is commercial. Can anyone offer me any stronger arguments one way or the other? Since the Digest is probably not the best place to argue the ralative merits of competing packages direct email would probably be best. thanks! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | gerry santoro, ph.d. -- center for academic computing | | | -(*)- penn state university -- gms@psuvm.psu.edu -- gms@psuvm.bitnet -(*)- | | | standard disclaimer --> "I yam what I yam" | |
