When I used to write s/34 programs, 32K was quite large....  :-)

But you're right.  If I had to spend alot of time figuring it out, I would
max it out  (actually, I always added 2.5 times the record length.)  But now
that I've been enlightened by Bruce Hoffman's pointer-based technique, I
can't imagine doing it any other way.

(You wouldn't happen to have relatives in Iowa, would you?  That s/34 gig
was my first job, and I worked for some Martins there.)

Good day!

William
