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.
