Revision 405 works on CE 2.0 MIPS (MobilePro 700) and CE 3.0 MIPS (MobilePro 790)

I have been doing some tinkering with Textmaker 2002/04 builds 397 and 405 on HPC2000 MIPS for the NEC MobilePro 790 and noticed some bugs with build 405.

Build 397 saves Office 97-XP .doc files beautifully.
Build 405 keeps hanging and freezing the entire device when attempting the same but does not do this when saving .tmd, .pwd, or Word 95/6.0 files.
I was annoyed and at a loss on how to fix it.
Anyway I played with the settings, and did the following:
Extras - > Preferences - > Files
-Uncheck “Create Backup Copies”
-Uncheck “Autosave Document”
-Check “Fast Save”
-Change Default File Format to “MS Word”

Now I’m on the later build and it works perfectly as Build 397.
I just wanted all of you to know if you have an older MIPS device.
