FOR THE RECORD: Gregory Thompson is correct -- I was extolling ProSel's merits and allowing you (the Wings expert) to make the comparison.

By the feature list I listed, it seems ProSel has the most horsepower for the least capital outlay; sort of like a $50,000 Corvette that zings past the Countach... :) And you don't have to buy the parts separately. >>>> an appointment book/etc.? >>>> a fully programmable RPN claculator, programs save-able to disk? >>> You ARE kidding about these two right?!

I interpreted a few >things incorrectly in the original post that I replied to and YOU >interpreted things incorrectly in my reply! Enough of this. My original post sang the virtues of ProSel, and since I haven't heard amazing things about Wings (and Unknown hasn't answered that list of questions about its features :), I'm convinced it's the superior package. So everyone buy ProSel, and let's stop this thread. Or better yet send Tim Meekins the shareware fee for ZLaunch and be done with it.
