>Summary: FullWrite Demo takes 15 min vs. FullWrite takes 13 sec to make a > bunch of global changes. A possible cause is automatic repaginate. If FullWrite is anything like Word 4.0, you will notice an enormous difference. I had a 200k text file that took more than 8 hours to change about 700 CR characters to LFs. The disk was being accessed continuously and the % complete digit was taking tens of minutes to increment. The whole thing completed in less than 5 minutes with automatic repaginate off. This was with a 1 Meg Mac+ and a CMS-80 external HD. I've never used FullWrite, so I'm just guessing, but the discrepancy has to be in a mode setting or something similar. Good Luck, John
