I run OPUS on a *.msg base in an HPFS drive, and loose very little drive
space. I might loose some, but not enough to worry about. A good reason to
switch to MAX is there is an OS/2 version, which gives you a ton of power
with REXX being available, super stable OS, and neither the BBS or other apps
have much affect on each other. This is also true to a lesser degree with
OPUS running under OS/2, but OPUS can affect other apps, particularly games
like DOOM or Epic pinball which run a little (LOT) slow if the OPUS is
running. Most lessor games, like tetris, and the like, have no problem
running with OPUS and OS/2. OS/2 is especially nice if you prefer non gui
crap.
