Ignoring the setup time, I'm basically after a linear time grep algorithm. Comments on what can be done and what can't, and how to do it, will be welcome, as will any source or anything. -- dg@lakart.UUCP - David Goodenough +---+ IHS | +-+-+ ....... !harvard!xait!lakart!dg +-+-+ | AKA: dg%lakart.uucp@xait.xerox.com +---+
