Hugo dictionary maintenance


25 Jun 95 17:43:16 -500

For those of you who have e-mailed me with comments about the less-than-
completely-efficient way that the Hugo Compiler scans and maintains the
dictionary tempfile: you're absolutely right. The sequential method
was just the best I had ready to go at the time of v1.0 release; another,
faster method that promises to speed compilation up substantially will be
used in v1.0. (If only I had a better machine to develop the thing on--
an in-memory indexed sort uses a lot of space, and I'm being forced into
using some quirky indirect array allocation to pull it off. Enough
complaining, though.)

Thanks again for your comments.
