The point is that apart from CP/M and derivatives like DOS, this kind of behavior is strictly a leftover from the '60s. And CP/M only had this restriction because it was tremendously resource-constrained. It's not a precedent for treating some magic character as an end-of-file marker when virtually every operating released since 1970 system (apart from a couple that derived from this historical anomaly) has had files with byte-precise size metadata. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
