Have you tried running Beagle, then using a front end like Kerry? :) Actually, that's a good point - I'll have to see how large a text file beagle can index. Just need to find some large text files to test with. I'd check if a memory limitation exists: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:->ulimit -all | grep virtual virtual memory (kbytes, -v) 4176480 or just ulimit -v, like that output tells me. Here I've got the full 4Gb to work with on this machine. If you get some dubious value I'd look to increase that using the same ulimit command line tool.
