I don't see C or Assembler as the "obvious choice" -- Although I have 
taken courses in both, I don't know enough about either to make the 
development time-effective. Can C really open a 120,000-word file and 
another file, and then compare them for matches, and then display the 
results in significantly less than 78 ticks?

Yes, Brian Yennie's contribution evened out the playing field. RB and 
Rev are now both at 78 ticks. Bravo!
