I for one do not like much of anything put out by anyone who is even
remotely related to cybermedia or quarterdeck (same) software. This comes
from growing much gray hear while installing and / or using many of there
programs of which NUTS AND BOLTS is a family member. My first experience was
with Magna Ram , then First aid 95, 97,98 none of which worked as promised
by the manufacture.The last time I called Cybermedia to complain and get a
refund the operator knew full well of what I was saying and took me off
there mailing list with out me even asking. GOOD RIDDENS
