Not to mention ff which used to be a great quick program when I did not want to
use the unix-like find utility I have.  In version 5 I find it horribly 
bogged down in menus. 

I retained ff from version 4.5 as well as several of the other information
utilities like fs.  I used to really like the utilities because they were
quick to use and convenient to run.  By lumping them together like they have
destroyed the utility of the package.  Now version 5.0 is just as cumbersome
as most of the similar functions performed by PC Tools in PCShell. Too bad.
