What does Nisus users think of Nisus? There is a review saying that it is very slow on Mac Plus. Is that true? Does anyone who run it on Classics have any comments? Ida

Speed is fine for most purposes, but unimaginably slow for search/replace when the replace touches lots of stuff that might need to be undone later. Performance bug in memory management in support of multi-level undo. Feplaces that take milliseconds under vi can take minutes under Nisus. Confirmed in discussion with Paragon support personnel. -- Brad Cox; cox@stepstone.com; CI$ 71230,647; 203 426 1875 The Stepstone Corporation; 75 Glen Road; Sandy Hook CT 06482
