> So does acme/sam need to load the whole file into memory? no, but the whole file is read. additionally, many 32-bit offsets are used.
(cf. Range, Block, Disk, Buffer.cqi Elog, File.ntext, Text, Expand, in acme/dat.h) i don't think it would be that hard to modify acme to handle large files, but you'd have to convince it to not read the entire file preemptively to make this a useful feature. and you'll probablly have to increase the size of STACK. - erik
