I could add some other adjectives too: slower to parse, takes more memory,
doesn't come in one nice file, doesn't have cross indexing etc.

There's no text version of ST-Guide, but Lynx takes easily two *megs*
of RAM whereas ST-Guide gets by with something like <100K(?).  Even
CAB takes several times more memory. Guess whether I want the help
application to take so much memory that I can't use the main application?

(When I was a SozobonX C beta-tester (hi Jerry!), Everest + ST-Guide
with the SozobonX C-library reference HYP was most handly :)
