Well not knowing what changes will be made to SID hard to say, but what DirOpus has going for it (and I'm just another user) is the configurability to the user. You can program in 12 different volume names accessed through the RMB, 6 gadget buttons (in addition to the existing ones that are pretty much identical to SID's), *plus* 3 full pull-down menus each of which are configurable for sending whatever arguments to multiple files, before, after, opening an output window, etc! It allows you to use your own text viewer, editor, etc., or use the built-in ones, automatically detects ppmore files and has yet to crash on me. In fact, I had used a modified Cando application (like their PowerPanel project) that stayed on my WB screen to run all my program from harddrive, but DirOpus does just as well. Up until DirOpus SID seemed great, and who knows- 2.0 could implement even more features…
