The 'Translator' program that comes with WriteNow is distinctly not up to par
with the marvellous programming done in WN.
Here is another case of 'bad programming' -- the routines I have now to read
the text from a WriteNow file into my text editor DA would do that 80K job in
the realm of 50-200 seconds (offhand guess, based on memory of a 50K file).
Those routines will be appearing eventually in SigmaEdit...
