I've never tried Souper/GUI (prefer something that is all command
line rather than GUI)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with souper95 - it's solid and
reliable.

Vsoup is a win95/NT port of the OS/2 version. I prefer it because
it is _much_ quicker than souper95 (and on early testing just as
reliable). Souper95 and Vsoup both use the same newsrc and score
files the only difference is that vsoup requires RSXNT runtime
files (just as it required EMX runtime files under OS/2)

Try them both as I did. I settled for vsoup for it's speed but
because it uses the same setup as souper95 they are easily
interchangeable.
