Yes, i was talking of a real-world situation, not a game. Like Irv said, i don't think there is a way a single pc can do this, and i am not so sure Eu can do it either. Kat

I already have the data here. Google is now "worth" usd$50.8 billion, Yahoo is just under that. How is that for incentive? Google has a few thousand terabytes of storage, i have a few gigabytes on one small topic, i *am* dealing with small potatoes here. Others have said here that they have 80,000 plus records, i am saying i have 6 directories with 80K each, and that makes the size only 6 times bigger. But, if their 80K db can be searched/indexed/inserted for one record, or all matches of a wildcard located, in 10 sec, that's a minute for mine, being 6 times larger on that one topic. There's more than one topic. Surely you can see where fine tuning a sequential program to deal with this would quickly drag to a crawl on terabytes, and might never finish. Surely you remember since i have been on this listserv i have pressed for interprocess communication (and goto), and communication off the motherbd (web, parallel/serial port, etc), and string manipulation (strtok, strings.e, type: string, etc). The real world isn't one document, one game, one file, one harddrive, or even one computer. Right now, i am using 6 other computers out across the usa and europe on megabit lines, and i could use more! And rather sadly for Eu, they aren't using Euphoria, and i am not using Eu to communicate with them. No matter how you play with that one Shakespeare file, it won't scale to a common index of billions of files on a parallel cpu system. Kat

If not there, then... ...give me something to start with that isn't the entire ocean. How about just a lake (3 directories, 15K each) or a stream (2 directories, 10K each)? You never know what I (or another set of eyes) might come up with, so don't fail us before you even let us try. -=ck "Programming in a state of EUPHORIA." http://www.cklester.com/euphoria/
