Mind elaborating on this a bit, since now I'm intrigued. I was under the impression that Windows used a disk-based system and that you can't just allocated blocks to write to like the heap. Additionally, I was under the impression that the one of the big ideas of the filesystem was that develepor's did not need to concern themselves with how the data was laid out on disk and as such there is no guarantee on the contiguity of the data. It has been a while since I've done any real Windows programming though, so things may have changed. Pointers would be appreciated. -- Kevin ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.61.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
