pike (and thus nessie) can handle large data quite well, the limit is usually defined by your hardware. biopike is a pike application that handles huge amounts of DNA data its author says: "I was running a Perl program to process a dataset consisting of a few hundred megabyte of DNA sequence data. It had been running for a couple of minutes when I started to rewrite the program in Pike. At the end I had written a Pike version of the program and had processes the whole dataset before the Perl program was done." -- Mikael Brandstr�m the source for biopike is here: http://community.roxen.com/developers/cvs/browse.html?repository_id=47 this is not nessie code, but as nessie uses the same pike compiler and runtime anything that applies to pike also applies to nessie (with the exception of the syntax) greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
