How to get word offset all instances of a string in a chunk of text?

[Mike Kerner]

Since the topic of processes came up a few weeks ago I've been thinking
about what it would take to build a process/threading framework.  I wonder
if a text processing subprocessor, written and copiled in 6 would be worth
everyone's time.  The main app would hand off the data and the command to
the subprocessor and be handed the results back.  I wonder how large the
dataset would have to be to make the overhead worth while.

On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,

And God said, "This is good."
