I've run into this a few times, too. Assuming that `file-position` doesn't apply, having a buffer for discarded byes is the best approach that I know. To make it faster, I think we'd have to build a `discard-bytes` function into the I/O layer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
