- During my last spell at teaching C, I was asked what support C
- could give for variable length records. (Not variant records which I can
- do with a union). I was unable to answer the question, so promised to
- seek help (this means you).
- I welcome mail and postings. If the answer is in the FAQ, I also
- apologise and will someone please mail it to me.

- P.S. I already know that Unix will have a problem with variable length
- records since it doesn't know about records. Nevertheless, if anyone knows
- of an attempt to solve this I will be grateful to hear about it.

- Thanks in advance.
