Bryce,
I had not used xmlHack before seeing your posting. My compliments, it is 
certainly
the most capable editor I have yet come across for handling large files. 
It does have some
nice XML features. I loaded a 40 MB file, and it used about 90 MB RAM, 
not bad.

I think for a lot of uses this is a nice compromise between text editor, 
and form editor
wannabe.

I also noticed that it looks like a Win32 app ;)

Mark
