For a while, however, it looked like Software Carousel was going to go the way of Educalc and Ace. Now, Thaddeus Computing is distributing a much-welcomed update, version 7. And not only that, but they've put together a little package called Super Software Carousel designed for today's larger RAM drives and flash cards. The upgraded version of Software Carousel fixes several bugs that the older versions had. Switching back to a System Manager work area will no longer cause the screen to be corrupted, thanks to a patch.
Flash cards are no longer in danger of being killed by a poorly-timed write.
So there are compelling reasons to upgrade. The concept of Super Software Carousel is surprisingly simple and elegant. The advantage here is that you know exactly which area to go for each program, and can access each one in seconds by switching work areas. The disadvantage is that most of us have many more DOS programs than we can create work areas for. I must admit, this was largely my way of thinking, until I tried out Super Software Carousel.
