With the recent discussion on comp.sys.ibm.pc on which editors will handle files larger than memory, no one has discussed any of the strategies used by these editors. Blackbeard's, Norton's, Sprint, Multimate, Brief, and others were mentioned as editors which could do this. Could somebody enlighten me as to how this is accomplished in some of these cases, or a general strategy for doing so for an editor? I have not a lot of desire to reinvent the wheel, or reinvent it inefficiently, so I would appreciate some info on the topic itself, or on where I could find such info. Followups to comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer please. Chris -=- "Brother, this trip is gonna make LSD seem like Aspirin!" --- The Green Berets Christopher Schanck (schanck@cis.ohio-state.edu)
