Hello all, my source code here is all fucked. I really need help in buffering this 5 megs text file into 64k chunks, and then let the user go through those chunks smoothly. Example: 1 2 3 -- user sees all this 4 5 user presses down once 2 3 4 -- user sees all this 5 6 user pressed down three times 5 6 7 -- user sees all this 8 9 This is sortof what I want to happen here. Say the text box can only support five entries. I want it to buffer itself QUICKLY so the user can scroll through the WHOLE text file painlessly. Once this program is complete, the company I part-time work for will be selling each copy of this program for $100 each(Canadian currency). We deal in custom made spectrometers, and it's my job to make a display program of all the wave lengths (that's why the text file is soo big.) When the proram is finished I'll give credit to whoever can help me solve this problem. Please e-mail me with possible sollutions and help, it's much appreciated. Chetan Phull phull@interlog.com P.S.: I'm attaching my source code, please download it and make necessary refinements and e-mail if back to me. If it works to my satisfaction, you will get credit in the final copy of the program. P.P.S.: I'm also looking for a font with ALL CHARACTERS EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE. I tried Courier and System, but different characters have different widths.
