If you just want to open a specific region of a file, it's easy to write a command to read the filename and the region bounds, an call `dd(1)' to extract this region into an temporary file, an add buffer-locally a generated function to `after-save-hook' to use `dd(1)' to reinject the temporary file in the initial file. If you want to Emacs decides automatically to use such a technique depending of the file size, determining itself the chunks size, displays the size in a transparent way (so the user never see he or she are editing chunks), guarantees tools like Font Lock, Semantic or nXML validation code to works well, ..., it's, well, IMHO, a quite more difficult. --drkm _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
