What's the biggest HTML document you've worked with? :) Today in an hour using my ML dialect and my Wiki scripts I generated 20,024 HTML pages from a 6MB data file from the NZ Ministry of Education. The automatically created directory listing (for the 20,024 files) in Wiki created a HTML page that was 352 pages long, and 136,221 bytes in size! Simply copying all the files in Windows 2000 over the network took over 1/2 hour! :) I might need to write a CGI script to automatically generate the pages as needed instead of generating them ahead of the time.

THAT'S really cool! can I share some of my proud moments too (just one or two ;-) I felt great when I figured the recipe to converting 135MB seismic data files into 3d keyframe animation (it was an maya mel script builder done in rebol ;-) the scientific data whas being sampled for a 40 story building and it was being sampled a 5ths of a second... a db of 450 columns by 16000 rows... all in 8 digit decimal data... Its ironic that I used rebol to generate a sourcefile in the 3d package's native script format instead of using that script language to try and import it directly... I also built a script which did a linux/winNT file path conversion system for 40-75MB 3d dinosaur models... reading/writing the files took 5 seconds calling replace/all could take up to 15 minutes!!! (I imagine it reallocates the data at each match, so the more filenames in the scene the slower it was). The more I use rebol for non-standard file I/O the more fun I'm having at it... -max ----------- meteor Studios, T.D. ----------- Never Argue with an idiot.

I have a REBOL application that produces a 240K HTML file every month -- it's a membership address list. That's bigger than your biggest file, but the application has just a half-dozen files to process -- nowhere near the 20,000 you had -- to produce it. More proof of how well REBOL scales in an important dimension. Sunanda.
