I don't know if what I say makes any sense to you...
Why do you want to keep a fixed bytes (3000) in each record. I learn pack, unpack from
the sample
and do it that way when I work with database. The delimitor is '\0' (nullChr).
What is the structure of your record?
If StrLen() gives you 500, casting to CharPtr would end up give you the same thing.
