Gordon) Organization: Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS USA Lines: 10 My comment about Reset(file,1) was ment to address the need to use both the file-variable and the block size in the reset command. If you use the default file block size of 128 and the size of the file is not mod-128 then you will read garbage beyond end-of-file. Turbo deblocks the file into groups the size of the parameter in the Reset command. -- Dwight W.
