This is a dumb question, and I know the answer already.. but
.. just hoping.. ;)
SyncWriteRec cannot write to any specified index in a database;
your only luxury is that you can write by unique-id, or request a new
unique-id.
1) Is this still true, or are there any tricks to writing a record
to a specific location in a db?
2) The record gets the first unused index, IIRC, in the database
and a new unique-id is generated. Is this always the case? Or do different
OS versions do it differently?
Why do I ask? I found a nasty piece of code that has a lad doing
all sorts of crazy SyncWriteRec()s, making assumptions about its
location. I find it bewildering :P
