You are correct, it is probably an expensive operation. The other way would be to know the position within a file and compare it to the one that we should go to. If they are the same, do nothing. There is fgetpos() in ANSI C, but I'm not sure what the equivalent in APR is and how expensive it is. -- Bojan
