Robert,

Please accept my abject apologies! Don't hurt me. (whimper)

It did the same for me. :-( (I had never tried it until I got your 
message, probably because I knew it wouldn't work.) To protect yourself 
from further injury, please add this line to the end of FN sortFileData 
in the MAIN file:
menu 1,6,_disable'count

You can reload the text file and count it again, but you can't recount 
the same file without reloading it.

The URL I sent may have been for a different file than the one I've been 
using, but I doubt they would be different enough to impact the results 
very much. The bible11.txt I have is unquestionably the entire Bible, 
although I mistakenly thought it was just OT when I published version 1 
of my program. I'm a little surprised your results are that much slower 
than mine, as my machine is also clocked at 240 mHz. It says its a PPC 
750--Is that the difference? Maybe I'll have to try getting that same 
file, in case they are different.

I presume you had register vars on--that should be in the prefs in my pi 
file. I can't think what else would slow it down that much on the same 
speed machine.

Thanks for the report. Sorry about the crash. Nice Robert! Robert LIKES 
Jay, akay? Good Robert. Down, boy!
