How does NISUS stack up to WriteNow in terms of pure speed?  I know this is
pretty hard to accurately measure, but how comparable are file save and open
times, for example?  How about a global font change or margin change?  Spelling
checker speed and a global find and replace?  I like what I've heard about
NISUS, but so far all I've heard about were features, not speed.  I like the
speed of WriteNow, plus the fact that it doesn't load itself down with a bunch
of page layout "features" that should be left to programs like PageMaker.

Just a question and two cents change...
