I don't agree with this. "Not enough processor power"?? Parsing a textfile
takes no time whatsoever, even on a TI-8x calc with a Z80. The speed problem
might be the output of text if you want it in different sizes, but I seriously
doubt that as well. TCML might take less memory though - that's about all.
