I'd use SQLite nowadays, because it takes
extraordinary care to make
sure that no data is lost short of disk failure. It is considerably
more robust than the underlying filesystem, and runs embedded in its
process. It also means you can readily carry about arbitrary data in
additional columns; for example, you could make line marks persistent,
including dot.
Good point; thanks. I'd forgotten about SQLite... I doubt if I'll be
writing a new editor any time soon though (VI works just fine) but was
planning on incorporating it in a project I'm working on.
