Hello,
  I'm trying to read from several streams (3-5) each a very large text file 
representing a grid of data.  Each file contains the coordinates and the 
data value and the coordinates are sorted so each line corresponds to the 
the same coordinate in every file.  The width of each data value is not the 
same, so the size of every line differs.

  Since each file is very large, I'm opening multiple streams and storing 
the streams in an array.  I can read from each stream on the readable 
event, but i'm having trouble slowing the streams down when one of them 
falls behind.  

  What is the correct way to pause the streams without using the pause and 
putting the streams in 'old' mode.  Not calling read on each 'readable' 
event seems to starve the streams and they close silently.

  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

John
