Thanks for cutting to the chase on the issues of speed and flexibility. (Beats my earlier stream-of-consciousness ramblings.)

There is no doubt that Surfulater is catching up with WR. Not there yet, though.

Incidentally, and talking about speed, I’ve complainined from time to time here about the slowness of WR’s start-up speed from cold, whether using the browser plug-ins or firing up the main program. Recently I realised to my embarrassment, however, that this was largely because I was loading five enormous archives - the products of years of using ContentSaver/WR - every time I ran the program. Simply unloading the ones I don’t use often (equivalent to NOT loading every Zoot database I have when I run Zoot) cured the problem.

I mention this because it’s so easy to make hasty judgements about software when the problem is a user one :-).
