"and it really matters that this logic is preserved. I can open the file =

using Streams but never quite get it right.
Any ideas?
Thanks."


Definitely the solution is to use Stream_IO and get it right :-)

You can certainly duplicate the desired effect with Stream_IO, can you
be clearer as to why you had trouble doing this?
