Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Mapped Files

Hi Bill,

so in J does the OS still manage pulling parts of the file in / out of
memory?

optimistic case:
Does 'size of viewport' mean that J takes x amount of the addressable
memory, yet the OS only loads in parts relevant to the current
operation?
i.e. so long as you stay away from some safe threshold (say 1e9 * 0.66),
you
*should* be okay?  In a 32 bit OS it's about 4 GB (1e_9 * 2^32 GB)?

Thanks for the info Bill, Raul, and Lettow.

re: JDB.  I'll come back to this when I get a spare moment.  I'm not
sure I
want to tackle a new database just yet :)

re: vector article, is that available on the vector.org.uk website
somewhere, or in the printed periodical?

thanks,
-Steven
