Under DOS, Elvis may start up faster if you compile it with -DFASTLOAD in your CFLAGS. -DFASTLOAD causes Elvis to read several whole sectors at a time while loading a text file. This was intended to reduce the start-up time for Elvis, but under UNIX it had no measurable effect on Elvis' speed. So I figured it was a bust. But now I've been told that -DFASTLOAD *does* help DOS users. You may wish to try it. If you do, please let know know what effect (if any) you notice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Kirkendall kirkenda@cs.pdx.edu uunet!tektronix!psueea!eecs!kirkenda
