Hello Glenn,

Could you give a more concrete example please ?
I don't understand how you're using the "1:", "2:" and "fanout"s .

Thanks

In the real old days, before NOT, the idiom was:

  (end /) ... | 2: fanout | 1: fanout / 2: | ... / 1: | ...

The record is written to 2's primary and then 1's alternate(s) first,
and to 2's alternate(s) after that.  I still occasionally find myself
using this when I need more than two copies of the record (since NOT
only works with two streams), or with more FANOUTs when I need to
reorder more than two copies.  I've always wished FANOUT (and GATHER)
could take a list of streams in its argument (allowing streams to be
specified more than once, and optionally filling in any unspecified
streams at the end of the list).
