Subject: How does the Ada 95 Streams package Index?

From examining the Ada 95 reference manual I get the impression that
a file created with the streams package is able to move to numbered
records in the file (e.g. Read the 5th record). How is this intended
to be implemented in light of the variable length of the records which
could be in the file? Are all the records expanded to the largest size
or are divider bytes inserted in the file.
GNAT doesn't have this package yet (but soon will I am told) so I
haven't been able to "test" this package out. Anyone up on this?
