That's probably a fair point. I know one reason I dislike WOLF is because it 
seems to take a lot more effort than QRSS to copy. I may be totally off base 
with that, but like you, just my opinion.

Argo was very easy to install and start using, but I don't remember there 
being a lot of "step by step" type instructions. I know initially it really 
bothered me that it set the size of spectrum I could look at based on QRSS 
mode instead of letting me set it. I spent some time trying to figure out 
where the "defaults" came from so I could change them.

Once I realized "what it is is what it is" and decided to just live with it, 
Argo seemed simple. It's easy to forget the early frustrations once you the 
excitement of getting something going sets in.
