>And what out there enjoys the increases of 400% I have seen quoted?

	I think this was already mentioned, but there seem to be two
different 'blitz' programs.. 'Blitz', and 'BlitzFonts'.  

	Blitz is hardwired for the Topaz 8x8 font and gives at least 400%
increase in speed for non-scrolling applications which use text a lot
(for example, DME redrawing a window becomes a bare flicker).

	Blitzfonts on the other hand works with non-proportional fonts
other than Topaz 8 (not sure if they still must be 8x8, but I don't think so),
and gives a 10 to 80% improvement in speed.
