Plenty of better shareware out there for half the Time Owned: unknown months.
The version I initially downloaded simply didnt work on pactor. When I complained I was told to wait for the upgrade available in about a month.
The upgrade(?) version is a just a new nightmare.
Slow, buggy and frustrating.
