[fa.info-mac] Sloooooow MacWrite

From: Bob Cralle <cralle@lll-crg>

I'm using MacWrite 3.8 (so-called, virtual) version. I think I have figgered
out the reason (not a good one--if I were APPLE), for 35min(now) save. FEdit
seems to show that 3.8 has HUFFMAN'd the source!. At least nothing is
readable in the file as text! No answer from APPLE yet. Do they care? How
data compression can take 35min. for ~100K source is still a mystery.
