I can't speak for Michel, but in this discussion, when I've mentioned that a file format should scale to large amounts of data I had 10 Gb or so in mind. However I was envisioning ending up with this amount by virtue of having lots and lots (10s of thousands) of waveforms in the data file. So the ability to pick out one of them efficiently and without parsing all 10 Gb is important. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
