[aplusdev] map a very large text file?

[Vladimir N. Kutinsky]

Hello John,

Yes, it is a text file that contains "1 2 3".
What do you mean by "long data"?

The fact is that I wrote a function to read ascii data from a file to A+ session .
Now that I know about txt>mapped conversion I've been thinking about switching from
my Read function to mapped files technology.  Is there any work around if the "In"
file is a simple text file?

Thank you,
Vladimir
