I am writing an application on an AT (TRUE BLUE) and I need fast file
access.  RAM disk is out theres too much megabyteage (sp?) to fit on
one.  I currently am compiling with MSC 4.0 and the file access seems
to be slow.  I know from codeview that it is using the file handle
method of access.  

Is the FCB method any faster?  How can I speed the process up?  Can I
double buffer or will all of the read's wait till the data has been
transferred?

Thanx for any response I might get.
