 you must be kidding or just crazy don't know which. you actually
 think jaws is monumentally better than flipper 3.0 ha ha ha ha ha ha
 ha sounds to me like you have some personal axe to grind with
 flipper and your comments are not objective.  I don't like flippers
 method of copy protection and yes there onsight support leaves
 something to be desired but it still has more going for it than the
 current crop and I use a variety of software applications that try
 its upper limmits.  jaws is memory hungry around 80k for the new
 version but I would like to measure that for myself not take ted
 hinters word for it. the oder version was 125k or more.  its support
 of the vast array of synthesizers is poor. it concentrates on
 supporting ssi263 based boards only and marginally supports some
 others. wake up and smell the coffee
