whereas if you did it as a single flat textfile, you can store up
to 2GB of data, this can even be 2G of single bytes if you want...

flatfiles, the way to go...

you can also have, in this manner, 'chunks' of text
greater than 32K [use robert purves routines to display],
and so you're not stuck with a 32K limit.

flatfiles, the way to go...

let the user save it where she wants. keep a FFSpec that points to
and change to an alias to resolve if she moves it.
