Dominick, re. Quarterback Tools Deluxe vs. AmiBack Tools Well, obviously I'm going to be biased, but here goes: Just about every thing AmiBack Tools does, Quarterback Tools 2.0 does also (except for the disk wiping stuff, but we include a separate program for that). Of course, there is no way for me to compare how robust AmiBack Tools is, or how thorough its disk checking is, but Quarterback Tools 2.0 builds upon two years of experience with the original Quarterback Tools–it does everything the original one did and much more. And in addition to the ability to analyze and repair disks, salvage files from disks, optimize disks, and recover deleted files, Quarterback Tools 2.0 includes a full-blown disk editor (for advanced users). We also feel that Quarterback Tools 2.0 is much easier to use than AB Tools. There are also several extras that AB Tools doesn't even begin to do, such as additional features when using Workbench 2.0 (or 3.0), and a full AREXX interface. We also include several very useful programs to round out the package, things that AmiBack Tools doesn't have at all. Quarterback Tools Deluxe includes: Locator (a file finder), Replicator (a disk duplication system), Encryptor (a encrypt/decrypt tool), Disk Eraser and File Eraser (security programs), Keystroke Finder (a keyboard utility), System Mover (a tool for moving fonts and system files), and Brain Cloud (a disk protector). In short, we feel that Quarterback Tools Deluxe is far superior to AB Tools.
