I'm quite sure AS can handle it. I've used AS to chew through multi-MB
postscript files in the past; I don't see why you should have problems
here. As for memory consumption, that'll be an issue with whatever
scripting language you use. But with half-gig memory and fifty-gig drives
these days, how big an issue will this really be?

Well then, why not stick with AS? It'll do the job fine. (Just don't do
anything silly with million-item lists and you won't get hurt.;)
