IMO, Carlsen's package is better, and there is no choice between them IF you
already own FileMaker. The Crevier package is available with a runtime
version of FMP3, for free, so that's a big plus. EMA is automated, so you
can just start it and let it run in the background while you do other stuff;
with Crevier, you have to manually select each folder (and the messages) to
archive. John Carlsen says he plans next to update the Hypercard version, so
you may want to wait. However, as you say, the death of HyperCard is very
likely. You would probably be interested in the interview with Danny Goodman
on this subject on O'Reilly's web site:
