The old +algorithm was O(n^2) for space and would exhaust memory or lead to page +thrashing on very large programs. The new algorithm is linear with the +size of the input for both time and space. It is now possible to build +very large mkid databases covering many thousands of files totalling tens +of megabytes and containing hundreds of thousands of unique tokens. + +* The database header is now byte-order and word-size independent. ID +files may be shared across networks of dissimilar architectures. + +Version 2.0 - February 1991, by Tom Horsley + + +Version 1.0 - September 1987, by Greg McGary + +* Initial release to comp.sources.unix + +Local Variables: +mode: text +fill-column: 75 +End: |
