I have written a context editor in Icon which is compatible with our local mainframe editor. The editor is fine but very slow in reading in the text of the file prior to editing, and slow to write out at the end of an editing session. The file to be edited is read in as a list of strings, each line being one item in the list. Does anyone out there have any idea how to speed up the reading/writing process? Thanks. Roger Hare.
