Anyone who can give me pointers to more information about it please do. It seems that much of the time overhead of trhe MacIntosh is a function of the Finder, and not of the code intrinsically. The Aztec (MANX) environment works *much* faster, though it is not necessarily thereby more useful. One problem which occurs to me is that one would be wasting a lot of good ROM routines, and not having virtual memory is a problem. Jon Shapiro
