Yes, I used to have them, too.

I can't go back, the new TosWinII is a must :)

well, I can confirm that. Most of the freezes I got when I was writting
a mail in Everest and then I pressed ^S to save - aMAIL asked whether to
"Send|Cancel" and at the same time it freezed. But this must be caused
by Freedom 1.15 which implements alert boxes in nonmodal windows. Oh
no, Freedom is another must-have, I can't live without it. Perhaps I
could switch the boxes in windows off and give it a chance?
