   Yeah right.  Poor implimentations from my understanding.  Easier and better to   
   just have the basic functionality of any one of those capabilties at hand and   
   forget the "all in one" design of DOS-think.   
      
   Stuff like that has never impressed me, even when I was in DOS world.

   I respectfully disagree.  Without the list those people would be lost.
