Alex Matulich asks for some ideas on memory management for

	[some ideas he came across]

   That's all I could think of.  Does anybody else have any better ideas, or

you already know about the finseth book, which is an ok reference,

and the oberon book[2]. if you want to use buffer-gap or something
like it, here is some code by Lars Wirzenius that may help you get
started.
