This is basically a reverse-engineer job--if anyone can direct me to the documentation for the "standard" I'll try to make it compliant to the letter.<br> </li> </ul> I've had the IO function repeatedly crunch through a file 100 times (load and unload) and the output is consistent. If anyone has any weirdness show up, please let me know. I've tried hard to stamp out unwanted padding and such, but I may have missed something.<br> <br> As always, feel free to pass on criticisms, complaints, faint praise, left-handed compliments, and cash bribes. :-)<br> <br> Hope this helps.<br> David Days<br> <br> "Never confuse movement with action."<br> --Hemingway<br> <br> <blockquote cite="mid...@ta..." type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html> |
