You can't; you need to rewrite the entire file. For classical sequential
files I recommend writing a new file rather than writing on top of the old
file. That way, if something happens in the middle you haven't lost your
data. For Unix files that shouldn't be necessary.
It's too bad that IBM killed TSS.
