- Extremely, very, incredibly fast. For any of you GNO people out there,
- do "cat very_large_file" and if any of you can read it you're extremely
- talented. GNO can do text output just as fast as Nifty List.
- Granted, not all utilities can move data as fast as 'cat' currently can,
- but we're working on it. :)
-
- Basically, we rewrote the TextTools and added a GS/OS accessible screen
- driver. The low level 'COUT' routine is highly optimized for the IIgs.
