Calling it sophisticated is subjective.....They have copied some of Accels features. This spread sheet can get in the way many times. It might impress a Unix programmer, but the one thing Protel had going for it was its MAC like interface. Very graphical with some of the best graphics on a pc. Oh did I mention I hate Accel/PCad on this forum. I think I did many times The fade menus sound really neat, but I try to use key strokes and push my mouse to the location where I want activity. I work with mouse pushers maybe they will like that. Clicking on menus takes time. I will wait before I make my judgment. My objective is to have software that increases my productivity. Much of this software is reaching maturity now. New features are becoming less and less innovative. There is room as some suggested for lib management. What I hope DXP doesn't do for me is play my CD music any better, or tie into AOL or have the darn menu in my way of productivity. I have to unload AOL off of every new pc I buy, I will most likely unload the menus the same way. And if I can keep the Accel spreadsheet from ever popping up I would be happy with that too. OK PROTEL you have my address send me a copy of this new software! I want my hands on it to run it thru the paces.
