If Youth, throughout all history, had had a champion to
stand up for it; to show a doubting world that a child
can think; and, possibly, do it practically; you wouldn't
constantly run across folks today who claim that "a child
don't know anything." A child's brain starts functioning
at birth; and has, amongst its many infant convolutions,
thousands of dormant atoms, into which God has put a mystic
possibility for noticing an adult's act, and figuring out
its purport.
Up to about its primary school days a child thinks, naturally,
only of play. But many a form of play contains disciplinary
factors. "You can't do this," or "that puts you out," shows
a child that it must think, practically, or fail. Now, if,
throughout childhood, a brain has no opposition, it is plain
that it will attain a position of "status quo," as with our
ordinary animals. Man knows not why a cow, dog or lion was not
born with a brain on a par with ours; why such animals cannot
add, subtract, or obtain from books and schooling, that paramount
position which Man holds today.
-- The first two paragraphs of the novel "GADSBY", written
by Ernest Wright (1939). GADSBY is unique in that the
story consists of over 50,000 words, yet never uses the
letter 'E'.

The program is fun to run on MS-DOS icon, as it becomes obvious
whenever the garbage collector kicks in.
Some open questions:
The program is very memory intensive, can that be improved,
or does the problem inherently require tons of memory?
The program is very weak on handling the last few characters
of the text file. Can anyone suggest some improvements?

Subject: uucp mail delay at arizona
Status: R
During the period 12/15 to Dec. 12/21, a condition existed
on the system 'arizona' that caused unreliable delivery of
outgoing mail sent via uucp. It is believed that, fortunately,
all mail that was not delivered properly, in addition to some that
was delivered properly, accumulated in one of the uucp spool
directories. Each of these such messages has been remailed
to the intended recipient and the following message is one
of them.
As mentioned above, it is believed that no mail was lost, but
it is probably advisable to "resynchronize" with any
correspondents that you have been communicating with via
'arizona'.
We sincerely apologize for this problem.
Please mail to arizona!lab if you have any questions.
