Tim Wentworth had made a local change to his PyPlucker to put in a marker
in the reserved byte in the record header to indicate whether the record
is continued by the next one.
I propose this become official. Specifically, I propose that bit 0 should
be 0 if the current record is not continued and 1 if it is continued by
the next record in the database. This will let one amalgamate all the
fragments. I don't know how these kinds of changes to the format are
made. Do we vote?
I am working on this amalgamation of fragments. So far, paging forward
works (or worked before I made some more changes...) This will overcome
the 32K limit, and will also let us duplicate iSilo's continuous mode if
we wish.
