Seems to do the same thing for large files, where large is some
number less than 800K. In this case, it produces a .index file,
but the file is not indexed to the end. In other words, looking
for a word in a file will result in a no-find if the word is
deep inside this large file. I have not quantified large and
deep, but this looks like a serious bug.

Can anyone with 3.0 try testing DL under 3.0. The other bug
seems to be regular expression search. It seems that it does
not understand expressions like u*stand, but will do u* and
*stand. Does it have a different regexp syntax, or is this
another bug?

Does Edit do regular expressions correctly in 3.0?
