What do I need for computer power for the AN1X editor? I've got a 
Pentium 255 with about 40 megabytes of hard drive left. Does the 
editor double as a librarian? I'd hate to lose my patches when the 
battery dies.

Thank you

That should be plenty.  AN1xEdit doesn't seem to be compute-intensive; I've 
run it on a Pentium-233 with no problems.  The program itself takes about 
2.1MB, not counting any .AN1 files you've saved.  Each .AN1 file takes 
221KB, but if the file is half-empty (or stored patches), it ZIP's down to 
a lot less.

Yes, complete with cut and paste functionality, and the ability to open 
multiple libraries at once.
