    3. I have intentionally avoided posting to this list for the longest time because previously I could seldom comment without knocking Clooz. I can't resist not commenting any longer. Like Glenda I owned the earlier version of Clooz. I also purchased the current version in hopes of finding it more useful. I continue seeing postings asking about the Legacy/Clooz interface. Truth of the matter is once your original Legacy file is imported into Clooz, any practical connection between the two programs ceases. Any further additions/changes made in Legacy will not be incorporated into the Clooz data base unless you manually enter the information. This amounts to double entry posting. A complete waste of time and chance for error. Unbelievable in this age of technology. With a small number of program additions made to the Legacy program, most tracking/cataloging afforded by Clooz could as easily, and more reliably, be accomplished within the Legacy program. Please, if you are a user of Legacy, write to Millenia and encourage the building of modules to permit cataloging, the foundation is there using the File ID #. Unlike the other less useful features incorporated into the Legacy program, this addition would benefit their entire subscribership.

I am wondering what is the advantage of entering the data into both programs. It seems I can enter the all the information I need into Legacy, including my file numbers which refer my paper files. What am I not seeing? Glenda Holmes Boulder, Colorado
