- Alex Matulich asks for some ideas on memory management for
- his editor:
- [some ideas he came across]
-
- That's all I could think of. Does anybody else have any better ideas, or
- recommendations? How do most text editors handle this issue?
-
- you already know about the finseth book, which is an ok reference,
- but for additional ideas, take a look at pike's article at SP&E[1]
- 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.
