When I try to load large text files (>1MB), demacs crashes my 486.  It
has happened with both calc's texinfo file and with the Roget's book
file.  Am I doing something wrong, or is this a problem with demacs?
BTW, Vernon Buerg's LIST has no trouble with these large files.

Thanks in advance.

One other thing: any solutions to demacs's problems with file locking
when you SET TZ=CST-9???
