Thanks for the NUCULAR mention (http://nucular.sourceforge.net). It certainly doesn't meet all the requirements requested (very few users yet, some features missing). Please give it a look, however. It's easy to use and fast. How fast it is compared to others I can't say, especially since some of the numbers I see quoted out there are really incredible (how can an indexer by faster than "cp"?) -- I suspect some sort of trickery, frankly. Anyway, if you want a feature like proximity searching or some sort of internationalization support (it works with unicode, but that's probably not enough), please let me know. I focused on the core indexing and retrieval functionality, and I think a lot of additional features can be added easily. fwiw, -- Aaron Watters === % make love don't know how to make love. stopping. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
