I used puts as an example. *every* word must be interpreted, there is no
*3byte* cpu command to xor anything. You still didn't say how much memory
your puter has. For a 878K file, Eu would need a little over 3.5Megs to
store it in memory as a sequence, much less if you use a peek/poke scheme.
If you read/write a byte at a time, you could do the whole file without
loading it into memory, but that will *really* be slow.
