Given that 'skip does not work with open/binary/direct, I tried using it
with open/direct as follows:
>> pos: 10000
== 10000
>> file: open/direct %test.dat
>> file: skip file pos
>> first file
** Script Error: Out of range or past end
** Near: first file
but after some experimenting [Win2000] found that the following works:
>> file: open/direct %test.dat
>> loop to-integer pos / 4094 [
[ file: skip file 4094
[ ]
>> file: skip file pos // 4094
>> first file
== #"2"
With numbers larger than 4094 failing. So I thinks to myself that 4094 is
awfully close to the magical 4Kb (NTFS cluster size?) ...
Regards,
Ashley
