Ouch. Disk space is cheap, but this is pushing it a little. Note that we can 
easily shorten this simply by reducing the block size. It just has to be 
longer than the maximum nb of chars a physical line on the konsole is. On my 
display (1808x1356) that about 250 chars.

All I said was that, as far as I could see, BlockArray was opening only one 
file. I'll have to check that again though, but honestly I don't claim any 
expertise here. BlockArray is your code, I barely touched it. I just wrapped 
the history mechanism around it, that's all :-).

And no, I don't have a nickname, although 'glaurent' is my usual login (a 
friend used to call me "GNU Laurent" because of it), but I prefer Guillaume. 
What's wrong with it anyway ? :-)
