- Me too! Especially those dealing with pointers! I've got a DBMS program
- written entirely in TP5.5 that I wrote about a year ago, and I had to
- debug some things this fall. For some reason, my Edit-A-Record routines
- weren't working right -- they didn't save the data out, but seemed to be
- creating separate records in the data file. I found that I was saving
- them to Pos -- the position the record was "found" in the index file --
- in the data file, instead of seeking to FilePos -- the position in the
- data file that the index file points to. What a bummer. Totally trashed
- the data file and had to start over. :-(
