 *   Description:                                                        *
 *                                                                       *
 *        This library allows you to create a file of any type record    *
 *   by passing in the record size.  You must also pass in a record of   *
 *   the same type that the object has been initialized with so that     *
 *   you don't get errors when reading and writing.                      *
 *                                                                       *
 *        There is no internal buffering, but the routines are fairly    *
 *   fast and because each file is actually an object, you can create    *
 *   higher level objects of this object type that allow more            *
 *   flexibility, such as indexing and sorting.                          *
 *                                                                       *
