`mkid' NEWS - User visible changes.

Version 3.0 - February 1995, by Greg McGary

* `mkid' uses a new efficient algorithm for building the database.  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.
