but then setting back the text-styles (set the htmltext of fld x to the
xos[thisprop] of me)
would penalize the speed in favor of card based databases wouldn't it? Also,
tracking what record, updating index, etc gets in the way...
The reason i say this is that other than for listing array keys or looping
(questionable) arrays are faster but in searching information, or compared
to any descent indexed field scheme, you have little speed difference in
practical terms of data extraction from arrays compared to cards.
I'll be visiting different database formats soon, i'll keep ya all posted!
