I have just started using Smooth.com from the Vol.8,No.3 issue of
PC Magazine. The ability to scroll smoothly with this program is
terrific, and I especially like being able to scroll forward or
backward or jump around in a document I am displaying. I like to
use my 14" b/w monitor in 43-line modewnith an ATI VIP card, and
all 43 lines display nicely.
 
There are, however, two minor "featurse" which perhaps should be
changed in a future release:
1. despite the write-up about the program, it does not scroll
forward in the 132-column mode well at all. It will scroll
backward lin 132-column display, but I don't often read from back
to front.
2. When I'm not in 25-line display mode, I have to enter "cls" to
get the screen working properly again. A minor irritant which I
corrected by adding a second line to my smooth.bat file, saying
"cls"
 
Despite these irritants, it is a terrific program. I recommend it
to everyone!
