- *** "Circular buffer I/O" - I don't even know what it is, much less if it
- *** exists. Are you referring to wrap-around files wherein the file is
- *** declared to be of fixed size? As output is written, if the file is
- *** about to exceed its size, it wraps to the top of the file and
- *** continues writing from there? Kind of like a logging function?
- *** If so, I still don't know about an I/O library. What platform are
- *** you using - UNIX? IBM VSAM? MS-DOS? DOS/VSE?
- ***
- *** In any case, if "circular buffer I/O" is a "wrap-around file" for
- *** a sequential (non-indexed) file, it shoud be simple enough to code.
- *** Of course by simple, I mean relative to writing an entire I/O
- *** subsystem library.

- P.S. Do Italian pizzarias really break in brick ovens for
- months before they actually sell the pizzas to the public?
- P.P.S I have the last name, it's true, but none of the heritage.
