Subject: Re:  Streaming sam.

I've written a very basic stream sam, more of a toy than anything else,
just to see how it would feel. I think there are some basic problems
with the command language as applied to streams that the idea doesn't
work.

I don't want to duke it out on the list; I don't have time. My source
is available to anyone who cares. It's a couple of hundred lines of
C and implements x, y, a, c, and i. I use Henry's regexp package with
hacks to make $ and ^ work on newlines, not just beginning- and end-of-
string.
