[Pythoncard-users] textIndexer sample (conversion of Dan Winkler's PythonCard demo)

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I've converted Dan Winkler's original PythonCard.py demo.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pythoncard/PythonCard/

Dan's explanation of the code:
"It's about text searching and the hint bit algorithms hypercard uses, which
is more formally called "superimposed coding". It's really about indexing
and compressing text which is useful on stacks with thousands of cards of
text where you want fast search..."

I made the conversion from Neil's wxPython conversion of Dan's tk code;
how's that for a GUI journey? Of course, very little of the real guts had to
change. I checked the conversion in as a sample called 'textIndexer'

The version in cvs still uses ZODB to store the stack data, but I'm gonna
change that.
