- A couple of years ago I had to edit 10 megabyte text downloads. I found the
- only reliable way was to use the MPW Editor. MS Word ( at least then crica
- 1988) would mess up the files. I would save them and open the files later
- to find that the beginning of the file was a the end and the middle parts
- were all messed up.
- MPW never had trouble. Whatever you use, make sure you check your files
- after they are saved and reopened to make sure that nothing is messed up.
