You say it doesn't run with XP, yet their system requirements indicate that it does? Cheers!

Can you provide some examples of it's use, say in RE for instance? How does it benefit us when it comes to route editing?

Marc, it's RatWin that does not work in XP. Exact Mouse does work in XP.LoneWolf, there are so many features as stated above that it makes things a lot easier in the RE. One great example… being able to shut-off the Horizontal mouse movement so you can accurately rotate an object with the mouse without it taking a cockeyed dive into the ground. Sure beats the sloooowwww rotate method of activating F4 End and Numpad with the right or left arrow keys. That used to be excruciating for me... like trying to watch the hour hand on an analog clock moving.Also reference lines, grids and rulers can be popped on and off the screen. Try the free download. I think it’s quite amazing.

Wow is the right thing to say. Talk about saving time. Sort of elevates RE into the realm of becoming a relatively workable low-end program as opposed to the bare bones ratty thing that it really is.

Thank you, thank you!!!! I hated losing RaTWin when I changed over to XP Pro; it had been one of the most useful utilites I had ever encountered in dealing with the placement of objects in Route Editor. This program is even more functional. Get it!

I just installed a multiple span of bridges over a wide river in ten minutes. Used to take at least an hour before. It's an amazing little program alright.
