well bottom line stan is this the main thing and most importan thing is that your making a backup. its great ghost nine can backup in windows for those not familiar with dos just like ghost 2003 can. also great for those with no hardware synth who are dependant on software speech. both nine and 2003 will allow for end user to backup in windows with software synth. where you able to reinstallwith out sighted assistance, a few friends that tried where unsuccessful using ghost nine. would love to get my hands on the manual prior to buying to see what ghost nine can and can not do. this manual for nine is not on the ftp site. from what i can see ghost 2003 may have advantages over nine but may also have disadvantages because nine probably supports newer cd and dvd burners. for me because i am using a second harddrive to make my back ups to this support for burners is a non issue. bill -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
