Interesting, I had version 4.3 and got version 5 and then 5.5 which
I promptly dumped.

But version 6 I like again. I don't run the yucky shell that comes with
it, but just put the file utility a hot-key away. It's similar in 
quality to Xtree Gold but can be TSRed... (Which I don't think can?)

Version 6 has some very nice features... Worth getting in my opinion.
