This was very good for editing, not so good on storage. By allocating only the needed # of bytes when the file is first read in, and then allocating in 16 byte chunks when you first add a char to a line, I seem to get the best of both worlds... an apox 30% decrease in RAM usage. Look for this in the upcomming 3.10 release. Daniel Lawrence (317) 742-5153 nwd@j.cc.purdue.edu The Programmer's Room Fido 1:201/10 (317) 742-5533
