I think Jamal experience here is the key.  Even if Tylor knew what he was
talking about I actually had the word perfect code version 6.1 on my
computer at one time because I took class from one of the coders.  If you
want to see any code that is in need of drugs while reading that was one of
them.  It was still the best word processor and in my opinion still is.  It
is like the old argument of which programming language is better the one you
can do millions of things in one line or 1 thing in millions of lines.  The
truth is the best one is the one that gets the job done and that other
people can get us out of it.  I think I can say for many here that Ed sharp
program while not perfect (what program is) is more than useful and I for
one being a professional prprogrammer who has used it and will use it again
am glad you
 are out there making tools like this.  If I wanted an editor to load
quickly I would sit down and write it in ASM if I want a tool that can do
millions of things I would use Dll's to make the program as bug free as
possible which is exactly what you did it seems. 

Keep up the good work.

Ken

Tyler,
Please let us know when you actually publish a free, open source 
application, including documentation, that people besides yourself find 
worthwhile to use ....
