Subject: MIX Editor

I must lend my support to the view of Willie Smith, as I too deposited the MIX 
editor into my lower left hand drawer.  My syste uses interrupts and the 
crashes are not random.  I cannot even run the configuration program.  I did 
disable interrupts with a special BIOS and configured MIX.  What I found was a 
powerful but incredibly slow editor.  Every operation seemed to require an 
overlay to be loaded from disk.  Furthermore only 8K bytes are available to 
edit anything.  I use Magic Wand and have over 40K bytes resident with all 
commands resident also.  I could not take the performance hit of using MIX in 
spite of its features (assuming that I could get it to run with interrupts).  I
am interested in the Stack Fix.   Late in responding as I was in AUstralia for 
a month.
