You won't get any argument from me. I actually started work on something similar back when gnucash was planning to switch to a text file format, but I didn't have time to try anything other than a fairly simple solution in scheme, and for large files, guile wasn't fast enough. As a result, gnucash ended up using libxml. I still think this is an excellent approach to consider. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
