'Cleaning' shows what's software stuff is leftover from deleted pkgs. and =
frozen pkgs. It also allows to 'hide' needed stuff as 'exceptions'. It =
allows to delete stuff you never knew in your Newt. but don't delete stuff =
you don't know(it might be reg. strings for a frozen pkg.).

Yup, if you understand what and why Doc./Clean. is used for.
My main uses of SBM Utilities are...
1. Getting rid of stuff leftover after deleting software I tried but =
decided not to keep.
2. Making card-to-card backups. Don't need to connect to desktop/laptop =
just for a backup, great on the road.
3. Making more than one backup on a card. For different days and one big =
card with internal backups from two or more Newts.
4. Moving/deleting pkgs. and soups.
5. Device Info. also gives you more info. on the Newt. and usable =
memory/modem cards.
6. 'Recent' allows access to built-in functions that are not regularly =
allowed.
It's worth it!
BTW, on kagi.com, SBM's *specials*(IIRC) allows to buy Utilities and some =
other pkgs. for a bundle price.
