- Just to balance things a bit, I have to put my 2 cents in. I just
- purchased StuffIt Deluxe and found a minor conflict between SpaceSaver
- and Symantec's (Norton's) Directory Assistant II [ aka DAII ].
-
- When I called Symantec about it, they claimed to be somewhat aware of
- the problem (and it is DAII's problem), but had no fix. I E-Mailed
- Aladdin and they replied the SAME DAY (with a fix no less)!! I'm
- impressed with both the quality of the products and the quality of the
- support. This'll influence my decision too... in Aladdin's favor.
-
- PS. Just a happy new customer.
