From all the talk about buffer-gap vs. linked list line storage for editors,
I have become interested in the following question:
    How is data storage being done in popular text editors today?

I already know how Emacs works; what about the rest?  How about a table
listing the different methods and who uses what?  Actually, I am more 
interested in knowing about Word Perfect, Wordstar, Word, Multimate, 
DisplayWrite, PageMaker, Ventura, etc.--expensive software as well as cheap
stuff.
