	He said it right there that he HADN'T SEEN WINGS. that's all I was
commenting on here.

	Maybe cost effetive, but cost effectiveness certainly isn't
the criteria people use for everything. A Yugo will get you around where
you want to go, and is more cost effective than a Lambourghini Countach.
But I'd prefer a Lambourghini Countach.. (One of my goals in life.. By
the time I'm 40, to have a Lambourghini Countach.. -maybe- a Diablo..)

	Copy II Plus came out way before Norton Utilities, that was
my point... And I think if Copy II Plus unfortunately didn't have the
bug that it has (wrecks files sometimes), I'd be using it now. 9.0 has
that bug I mean, not previous versions.

	YES, I HAVE SEEN PROSEL. I use it on my most-used disk,
ProTERM.  I use it on other disks too... I still think Wing beats it.

	Yes, Wings has a very good editor. Graphical editor that's 
fairly fast compared to some.

	It's not something I know nothing about.. I interpreted a few
things incorrectly in the original post that I replied to and YOU 
interpreted things incorrectly in my reply!
