SigmaEdit has NOT become my main editing DA because I have experienced some
unusual crashes since I started trying it out.  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.
