Yes, Dos Navigator is an excellent program, however DO NOT
REGISTER IT!!!!!!!!  A friend of mine registered it, sent them
the $35-$40 that it cost, and never heard from them again.  He
didn't receive a code in the mail or any response whatsoever.
They cashed the money allright but they didn't respond AT ALL!
They then proceeded to change their address, and when he tracked
them down, they neglected to acknowledge FIVE separate email
messages and 2 direct snailmail letters.  ALSO, they were BOOTED
OUT of the SIMTEL archives due to their shady practices.

I therefore HIGHLY recommend that you use, but DONT REGISTER
their program.  Maybe then they'll get the hint.
