Re: DeskWinNC vs Flashcut?

I asked these same questions a few months back and started a good
thread on the subject. Dan Mauch Posted a favorable article he had
written on DeskwinNC. Chris had a lot of good things to say about
flashcut. He gave a lot of details of things he liked about flashcut,
but on research, deskwin boasts many of the same features for a lot
less money. I suspect flashcut is a more refined version of the same
theory. I plan to try deskwin myself, as my cash comes kinda hard. Do
a search for deskwin vs flashcut. It will prove very informative.
Master 5 is also briefly dicussed as a great alternative and The
newer version is supposed to be even better. By the way, what is your
application?
Happy reading,
Dale.
