I guess I'm wondering whether or not that's the real issue here. I don't know how often you are using contiguous files that are large enough to notice a big difference in thoroughput. Now, while I agree that EPP isn't the best way, I do think it's not bad, especially if you are intelligent about the way you store data. --- Sean Chou / schou@uiuc.edu / CompuServe 73672,2111
