I looked at the io ops a few weeks ago and it looks like only the open and readline are working. The write and read ops are using an incompatable file handle (int instead of FILE). I played around with them a bit and got them working for strings, but didn't go much further than that. If you want, I could take a stab at fixing it, although like Clinton, I'm not sure what the ultimate goal is. I also had a question about the read and write ops for NUM and INT... is it a good idea to be able to read/write in an INT length worth of data when INT size could vary from machine to machine? Or am I missing the reason for those? Thanks. Rob
