I don't understand when you say "take small place on my desk". The program I'd recommend would be Bringer that you could download at Gambitsoft. It's smaller in harddrive space than Arasan, it has a nicer interface (that's subjective I guess), and it's just a notch stronger than Arasan too. As for the "take small place on my desk" part, if you mean your desktop on your computer screen, then you'd want to note that Der Bringer can only be viewed maximized I believe. And when Dan says "A monkey could install it." about Arasan he probably means that Arasan has it's own installation program so it should be noted that Der Bringer does not have one of those, personally I don't like installation programs, I'd rather do it myself, but you may prefer them.
