Hey John,
Those are just options, didn't say they were good ones! :-)
I guess the real question is, what is the background of what you are trying to do?
Presumably you have some other program that is generating frequencies for you, do you
really need that in the current form? Can't the Lucene indexing engine act as a
stand-in for this process since your end result _should_ be the same? The Lucene
Analyzer process is quite flexible, I bet you could even find a way to hook in your
existing tools into the Analyzer process.

Hi Grant:
Thanks for the options. How likely will the lucene file formats change?
Are there really no more optiosn? :(...
Thanks
