                               ^^^^^^
Since when is Access! commercial, eh?  It's shareware.

And, IMHO, you shouldn't use generalized phrases like "commercial crap", since
not all commercial software is crap.  In fact, much of it is quite good.
However, some programs have shortcomings.  OnLine! is fine for what it does.
VLT and JRComm both have problems, too.  The dangerous thing about general
statements is that they often cause one to eat one's own words.

And that's enough said on that subject.  (getting off soapbox now)
