Lists as array elements

[David Vaughan]

Ken

Thanks for that. It was not the size as such that made me wonder, it was 
the fact of making a list an element of an array, or an array as the 
content of each element of an array. Anyway, I've just finished the 
prototype, it works (and fast!) and I'm very pleased to have a general 
solution to a problem of uncounted simultaneous input streams. Had I 
done this in HC I would have resorted to an XCMD to code a linked list 
with each node the head of another list. Using Rev is much faster to do, 
easier to maintain, and portable.

regards
David
