AOL: AFA John; CompuServe: 71520,3556 This may be great for current Suitcase owners, but can anyone justify the expense of purchasing it for Sys7? Or for use now if they plan to go to 7 as soon as it's out? All it does now is let you group DAs in places other than the system subfolders, right? (Actually, DAs in the above sentence can be replaced by suitcases, right?) It seems to me that this product is history, realistically. Unless the number of people who continue to use sys6 is great, and they don't now own Suitcase, but would buy it in the future. jas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey A.
