I have reverted to using miniWriter. The main difference between SigmaEdit and miniWriter is the 32K limit in miniWriter and my experience with SigmaEdit leaves me dubious about its ability to RELIABLY handle large files. With MultiFinder, there is very little reason anymore to use a DA editor, especially with large files. Duane (dtw@cs.cmu.edu)
