Totally disagree. Moose is one file without an installer. It doesn't do anyting that you don't see (adding things to your windows system directory etc). It's like the old dos days. You want to get rid of it, you just delete the folder that you put it in. Zip is primative? Simple maybe and most anyone is familiar with it. I like programs that don't add files everywhere and that you know what is what. Unless you have trouble making a folder it's much simpler. Make a folder called Moose. Unzip to that folder. Run moose.exe. Simple. It then makes it's own database file in that folder to speed things up. The newest version is very good. It's not perfect but just very good. I run it on my laptop and my library is on an external hd connected to my desktop. It has never been a problem. You probably need to try it again. It has changed quite a bit from the first one I tried. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51305 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
