Lehmann) Organization: Amoco Production Co, Tulsa Research Center Lines: 18 Tulsa, Oklahoma Keywords: 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... -- George Lehmann, ...!uunet!apctrc!zgel05 Amoco Production Co., PO BOX 3385, Tulsa, Ok 74102 ph:918-660-4066 Standard Disclaimer: Contents are my responsibility, not AMOCO's.
