[...] Oh, sorry, I read your mail again and saw that you talked about Richards OCaml implementation. I googled for some keyords and found an implementation, mentioned on this list (well, this thread was that bloated, that I didn't read it completely, and so I've seen Richards mail the first time this night). There was a module "Ancient", and I looked, what it does. It allows using the swap-space for too-large files. But that's IMHO a way to use more mem, but not to provide fast executions. I didn't use that module and heard of it just some minutes ago, but it seems it's the wrong tool. So, there should be better ways to go. Ciao, Oliver
