As usual, SemWare is being a bit modest. The object format George refers
to is as tight as you'll ever see. 1000 bytes of .MAC compiled code is
a sophisticated application. One macro programmer wrote a clone of
Vernon Buerg's LIST.COM. The compiled macro is 15K -- 3K smaller than
VB's handcrafted assembly code. The 'WHERE' file find utility macro
(which incorporates macro language and assembly code) is as fast as the
better filefinders available -- faster than most.
TSEPro is simply the best editor on the planet.
Mike.
