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.
