With the the changes to plbuf that need to be made to implement these features,
should the old code that was left in (the ifdef BUFFERED_FILE blocks) be
removed? The only time it is useful is on low memory machines that have the
ability to perform file I/O.
I'm not clear on the need to
It wasn't clear from Phil's summary that he was going to use plbuf

yes that certainly was my intention
I'm not clear on the need to prefix the commands with the size
A couple of examples where this might be useful - lets say we find a bug
and it turns out that when
In my experience, you will definitely need file versioning. Won't be used

Hi Jim:
