RE: Accessing files In QTEMP and the utility of multi-member file s

["Rich Duzenbury" <rduz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A current excellent use of multi-member files is storing source code.

I frequently use multiple member files as daily/weekly/monthly history logs.

I have many clients who send batches of data outside their enterprises, and it 
is an excellent mechanism for storing a copy of what was sent.  In the case of 
a corrupted or lost transmission, all the client has to do is re-send a copy of 
the history member, rather than having to rebuild the entire transmission - 
which may be an onerous task.

Regards,
Rich

Multi-member is just a disaster waiting to hurt you.  The next good 
application for multi-member files will be the first good application for 
multi-member files.
