The nirvana editor itself is whole program, and it's a lot of code. I'm sure you could get it to be able to page in huge files, for example he way GIMP (and many others do it). GIMP calls the paged in bits "tiles," but it's basically what you're talking about. > > And, where's the fork you mention?

Also, I just noticed somebody grabbed nedit.org and are apparently using it for a commercial project?! W, as they say, TF... :( |
