[net.micro.6809] CC disk file question.

mstach@ihuxa.UUCP (Dan Hoelker) (02/10/84)

I am working on a home data base program, and have run into a problem.
When I want to remove something from a file, I wind up with an empty
entry at the end of the file.  Is there any way to 'back up' the 
end-of-file pointer so that the empty entry disappears, or do I
have to always look for the empty entry and start there if I later
add something back into the file?  I haven't seen anything in the manual
that looks like it does the trick.  Even solutions using DSKI to read
some info from the file and rewrite it using DSKO may be welcome.

As usual, please reply be mail.  I will summarize responses.
