Is it safe to have holes in files that would not normally have them? The application - we run a distribution system which copies files to client systems. The client engine could check for nulls in the files coming in over the network and skip over them rather than writing them out on the disk. If the client engine did this for *all* files, does anyone know of any problems that would arise? Please email your responses. I'll summarize and supply the summary to anyone that wants it. -- Mel Pleasant {backbone}!rutgers!pleasant pleasant@rutgers.edu mpleasant@zodiac.bitnet
