All,

Thank you very much.

As my background is much smaller memory machines than today's giants -
64k being abigmachine and 640k being gigantic. I get very worried
about crashing machines when copying or editingbigfiles, especially
in a multi-user environment.

Mr Knuth - that brings back memories. I rememeber implementing some
of his sort routines on a mainframe with 24 tape units and an 8k drum
and almost eliminating one shift per day of computer operator time.

Thanks again

I can imagine ... though I don't go back that far.
