Hi,

I see variations of "LINE:" "line:" "LIne:" and "liNE:" and can't find any
mention in the documentation of this and its meaning.

It happens across all flavors of vedit and OS that I use.

I don't find any info in the current docu too (at a quick glance).

But if I remember correctly:

That indicates what part of the loaded (big) file is currently in
memory.
- LINE: complete file is in memory
- LIne: only the beginning
- liNE: only the end is in memory.

Ah.. I just loaded the win 98 swapfile of a ~hundred megs, and slide
to around the middle and "line:" shows. I'd half expect it to show
"lINe:" given the conventions being used as you described.

It seems you remembered correctly. I've been sloshing around in some
relatively small (couple hundred KB) files and just never took the
time to observe the indicator enough. Frankly I was suspecting it
was a typo. But then further contemplating that vedit is a lot of
assembly language programming, the typo possibility seemed slim.

"line:" means, you guessed it, that only the midde of the file
is in memory, the rest is on disk.

This is correct. I removed the doco from the 6.0 manuals because I expected to soon finish a new memory management scheme, but it hasn't happened yet.
