  Extremely, very, incredibly fast.  For any of you GNO people out there,
do "cat very_large_file" and if any of you can read it you're extremely
talented.  GNO can do text output just as fast as Nifty List.
  Granted, not all utilities can move data as fast as 'cat' currently can,
but we're working on it. :)

  Basically, we rewrote the TextTools and added a GS/OS accessible screen
driver.  The low level 'COUT' routine is highly optimized for the IIgs.
