It should be pointed out that using -b instead of -x will let you also use the
book editor and with that option you can get up to 61Mb of hash tables instead
of 64Mb. So for a cost of 3Mb of hash tables you get all the functionality
without having to exit and renter the program when you want to edit the book.
The difference of 3Mb of hash is trivial so for all intents and purposes start
Hiarcs 7 with the -b  switch.
