After reading several complimentary postings about Quarterback I decided to
buy it.  So far I have been totally unable to use it because it hangs the 
machine while writing to the very first disk.  Their manual discusses this
problem (except that they use the word 'occasionally') and their claim is
that it is a trackdisk.device problem and "NOT A QUARTERBACK PROBLEM!!"
(their emphasis).  I find it very difficult to believe that having had
my Amiga for four years and never experiencing the problem that their
software is not at fault.
