Could you upload a demo? Doesn't have to be a working demo either, just some screenshots and a feature list? I'm *sure* you'd get more sales if this could be shown around. Mr. Zombie

Greg– Thanx for the update. As a long time owner of Opus (currently V4.11), I would like information on the changes. Please let me know who is handling Canadian orders. I also have GPFax — what's the latest version? Regards, Bob Carter Quilters' Fancy, Toronto

Dr. Perry, We would appreciate some sort of updated feature and changes list so we can make an intelligent decision to upgrade :). Screen shots would be nice. Thanks for your Amiga support. DJ Autopilot 1.80 by Steve Ahlstrom From Queens, Center of the Looniverse …

Eulogio…just get the upgrade to Directory Opus 5.0, I`ve had it for a couple weeks now and it is fantastic. It definitely is one of the best Amiga programs of all time. Ray Tronix Micro Systems

Ray, In Directory Opus 5, did they fix the bug where the entire title bar flashes every time it is updated with new info? Thanks. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

Ray, >Just get the upgrade to Directory Opus 5.0, I`ve had it for a couple weeks now and it is fantastic. It definitely is one of the best Amiga programs of all time. This is very good to hear! All I've heard, lately about DirOpus5 is that people are disappointed that it doesn't work like DirOpus4.XX. Did you upgrade or just buy it as a first time buyer? What do you like best about it?

Thanks for the heads-up, Ray. Can you give us a few hints where the upgrade has improved? DJ

Directory Opus 5 is a totally new program, it`s not a bug fix of Directory Opus 4.0. Asha…I can`t upderstand why anyone would be disappointed that Opus 5 is different in operation that 4.0, it`s much more confiqurable, has many more features and it really takes advantage of the OS2.1 and above. People with machines running OS3.0 or 3.1 will like it even more, since Opus 5 uses 3.0 features like datatypes. Of course many people out there still like old 1.3 software like Diskmaster 2 (YUK!) 🙂 So far, the features that I like the most in Opus 5.0 are: 1.)Workbench emulation 2.)Unlimited # of directory lister windows (also view directorys by file list or icons) 3.)Drag and drop (almost everything is drag and drop in Opus 5.0) 4.)Datatype support 5.)Program Groups Ray
