Does anyone have any experience with maintaining file integrity on a DOS
system during extreme conditions such as power failure or users rebooting
the system?  Doesn't DOS buffer writes interminably beyond the normal C
programmer's control, preventing my knowing what has actually made it out
to disk?

What about techniques for making linked lists and such survive these
calamaties?

Thanks in advance for any answers...
