The material at the above links has been carefully reviewed by NovaStor
Corporation and was, to the best of NovaStor Corporation’s knowledge, accurate as
of June 1, 2002. However, because software is
complex and (naturally) undergoes continuous upgrading, some competitors descriptions may
become inaccurate. We therefore recommend that you not rely solely on these documents
in evaluating the programs, but that you also carefully review each current product
specification to evaluate the features that apply to your particular needs.
