In reply to Jonathan Leech's problem of not being able to read more than one
record from an RMS record file:
As far as I can remember this restriction was there in earlier versions,
but the manual didn't mention it - now it does:-
on page 18-10 of the new DEC C-book, in the entry for the read() function:-
NOTE
In general the read function will not span record boundaries in
a record file. A separate read must be done for each record.
I'm not surprised you couldn't find it - isn't the new C book a disaster,
with its pig's ear of an index and ridiculous re-arrangement and
"classification" of the library functions.
