RE: Interesting Experiment With String/Sequence Slicing

Hi Sam, I have found a way of increasing the poor performance of slicing 
really large sequences and have used this in my windows editor. This 
method is also in the file tk_misc.e included with win32lib.ew 
(insertIndex() & removeIndex()). I found an up-to 4-fold or more 
increase in speed. I don't have time to explain the method right now but 
if you want more help AFTER studying these routines then you could write 
to me direct. vulcan at win.co.nz
