[comp.emacs] Editor Algorithms

TAD@VAXB.ACS.UNT.EDU (TAD MARKO) (02/21/89)

I realize that this isn't the most appropriate question for this
group, but then this group is probably the most appropriate for
this question (I guess that makes some sense).  Anway, what I'm
asking is for some help on some editor algorithms.  I have
decided to write my own editor (yeah, I know, just what the world
needs, ANOTHER editor), that does what I want and not what I
don't care about.  I'm having a bit of trouble deciding what data
structures to use for the storage of the text, and how to do
things like searches and block moves.  I've got some ideas, but I
would like to be able to benefit as much as possible from
previous experiences on this project.  Does anyone have any
insight they can loan me on any facet of editor design?

Thanks,
Tad
