   I've converted the FreePascal version into assembler, and although it's likely   
   a   
   (fair) bit slower than the version on masm32, it works. At some stage I might   
   go   
   back to it and see if I can squeeze a few more nanoseconds out of it, but when   
   it comes back with 360 (all occurrences of "Oostende" in a 1.7Mb) file almost   
   at   
   the moment I release the Enter key, it's probably fast enough, and I expect   
   that   
   the RTF-ification, replacing the string to be replaced, the current year, with   
   "{\cf1\highlight2 2020}" in a 157Kb file will take rather a bit more time, I   
   have to think of a smart way of not moving that amount of data (or probably   
   half   
   of it) 92 times. Then again, moving a total of 15Mb is probably peanuts...
