Having upgraded to Vantage before v. 6.5 of McSink was released, I found it
hard to believe this complaint about McSink when I first heard it from
someone else.  Then I tried McSink 6.5.... sloooow is right!

Rest assured that Vantage (now in version 1.1) is _not_ slow like McSink 6.5.
On my Mac Plus (with a host of INITs) I find Vantage to be quite up to speed.

The way I use my Mac, Vantage is a DA that is invaluable... I'd feel like I
was back in the dark ages if I had to give it up.  You really ought to upgrade
to it.

(Vantage is a multi-window text editor DA that does not have the good old 32K
file size limit.  It is by Dave McWherter and is available from Preferred
Publishers, Inc.  1-800-446-6393.)

(I am merely a satisfied customer.)

Jim
