- Deluxe2? Don't you mean Deluxe-"squared"? The *ONLY* QWK-reader with
- a name that is illegal in Fidonet and possibly in parts of Usenet?
-
- Last time I tried to run it, it rang the bell several times a second,
- locked up at various places, and refused to run PERIOD. It's the worst
- software I've seen to date - and I've run almost all of the available QWK
- readers I could find. As I remember, Deluxe also has THREE or FOUR
- "GimmeMoney" screens to make you feel guilty.
-
- Forget it - make a statement and use freeware that WORKS - like Offline
- or Offline Express....
-
- PS: I tried EVERYTHING to get Deluxe to run - right down to the *BAREST*
- MSDOS v5.0 set up - no disk cache, NO autoexec at all, no 4DOS...
- it STILL crashed.
