  • Subject: Re: "extract" command enhancement (subfiles and Biffs

A file pointer is a pointer to a place in memory that contains the file
handle for an open file.  So, you could open a file in one program, then
pass the file pointer to another program, and it could use the file just
as if it had it open.
