I'm not sure that I understand what you mean by the SPOOL technique,
but I have done a fair amount of Occam proggramming, though it was a
year or so since I last did any.

From what I understand that you want (buffering) I can't see any
problem, except perhaps with the re-ordering. Occam lend itself very
well to this problem, and if you are really desperate, I can probably
find a code example somewhere.

Of course, It may be that I don't understand what it is you want :-)
