Thanks for the feedback.

I had tried initializing sequences over 250 meg elements (1GB)
using the repeat routine, and gotten the "out of memory" message.

On the swapping versus small section usage, yes I had noticed
that effect.  I was planning on using 100 million element sections
of a 2 billion element array at a time.  I can't compress the data
in any way which won't horribly slow my calculations, as it is
binary data, and contains every possible element.

Without access to the 2 billion element array (8GB), I think I can
still get the job done reasonably well by faking the lower bound
address using offsets.  I can get away with this since I only need
to access a contiguous 100 million elements at any one time.

I'll try the exw with a test program, and see if I can initialize
more than 1 GB.

Thanks again,
