  10. If anyone knows of any routines that would allow variable record sizes in a
  11. file, please tell me.
  12.  
  13. What's I'd like is the ability to enter in text of any size (up to, say, 20k),
  14. and when I wrote it to disk, I don't want the record to take up 20k if I
  15. entered in 1k's worth.
