BUFFERIO is a Turbo Pascal unit that intercepts normal
untyped file I/O calls and buffers them for files of record
length one. The program that I developed the unit for sped
up by a factor of three when I used it. This is a
preliminary beta release (number 0.90) of the unit; in it,
only reads are buffered.
To use the unit, put a USES clause for it into each
program or unit that does I/O to files to be buffered. It
is important to put the clause in all such modules;
otherwise, the program will not work properly.
The unit has been placed in the public domain, but I
intend to provide at least minimal support to it. Please
send bug reports, enhancement requests, and so on to me at
CompuServe ID 71320,3635.
I'm currently contemplating the following enhancements,
in approximate order of their likelihoods: write buffering,
adjustable-size buffers, EMS support, extended memory
support, and support file files of larger record lengths.
Feel free to implement any of these in the unit and
redistribute it; I don't care how complicated version
numbers and such get.
