Kat,

One other thought. You mentioned that 20 gb of text becomes 80 gb
as a sequence. If size is a major issue, consider using regular
expressions. If the data you are searching remains as a single string
of text data, you will not have the size increase you mention.

Karl Bochert submitted regex.zip 2002-04-23. I have used his routines
some and they are quite usable.

In short, using regular expressions on single large strings could 
help with the size issues.
