Because of the huge volume of text processing I do, I use QUED/M,
also from Paragon Concepts.

What I would like to know is:

  1. How do the GREP and Macro facilities in Nisus compare to QUED/M?
  2. Can Nisus read and use QUED/M macros?
  3. With the additional overhead of features in Nisus, can
     anyone give me a speed comparison between the two?
