Really?  In what way(s) is the CMS software superior to PCBACKUP 6.0 ?

Personally, I find that the PCTOOLS s/w is 

	a) faster, better compression, less unnecessary tape movement
	b) mucho more reliable -- CMS error recovery is awful!!
	c) easier to use, with mouse point-and-click directory tree,
		and multiple set-up files
