Then we can position to the last block. This isn't difficult so I suspect I may have misunderstood the question - if you really have only write access and not read access this doesn't help you. Perhaps VMS 3.0 will help since RMS has had stream i/o added though I don't know details. -- Gail Rubin (grubin @ bbn-unix)
