From all the talk about buffer-gap vs. linked list line storage for editors,
I have become interested in the following question:
How is data storage being done in popular text editors today?
I already know how Emacs works; what about the rest? How about a table
listing the different methods and who uses what? Actually, I am more
interested in knowing about Word Perfect, Wordstar, Word, Multimate,
DisplayWrite, PageMaker, Ventura, etc.--expensive software as well as cheap
stuff.
