A co-worker asked me if it is possible to truncate or resize an Ada
Direct_IO file, and after scouring the 'net and past postings I
couldn't provide an answer for her.

So, here goes: Suppose I have an instantiated Direct_IO file with 10
records.
I set the index to 5, and realize I don't need records 6-10. How do I
truncate or resize the file, short of deleting records 6-10? I don't
see an End_Of_File procedure for Direct_IO. Am I missing something?
