I tried it a few weeks back after one of my users told me about and was left seriously unimpressed FWIW. I'd certainly be interested in what DC'ers think.

Its great that big companies are able to garner so much coverage and interest it whatever the do, while us small independent developers struggle to get the slightest mention anywhere. Such is life.
Neville Franks, Clibu a better way to collect, use, manage and share information across all devices.

I tried this and ditched it instantly. No global search?  :down:
English will never be my first language, it doesn't meter how hard I try.

the setup program is determined not to install on my machine.. saves me the trouble of uninstalling, i guess depending on the response so far.. ;) one would have thought that Corel at last had gotten their act together but seems not..
