There are two different blitz programs Matt. But they each do ENTIRELY different
things.

Blitz is a VERY nice text file scanning program. If it hasn't been posted to the
net I'm real tempted to. :) I use this program all the time. You can grab it's
screen with the mouse and yank it up and down real quick and Blitz keeps right
up. Blitz can also: Print the file, Strip/convert CR's, change it's view of
how big a tab is, set a book mark, search for a string. This last function is
real fun to watch because Hayes makes the program SCROLL through all the text
till it finds the string. And bpy can this program scroll! A must see. The other
feature I like is that he used Mac style file requesters. You can double click
the filename in the requester and it will press the load button for ya.

BlitzFonts is the program Hayes wrote to speed up text output for the rest of
us. It comes in two flavors, the one that can be given away: hardwired for
Topaz, and the one you get when you send in your bux: which can handle fonts
other than Topaz.

BTW, Blitz also comes in two flavors, the giveaway version can't print files.
