James, thanks for your input...so basically, for a database file random access
would be best since the records are of fixed length.  However, if you are
writing text, its easier to use sequential access files since the pointer is
always pointed to the next new byte.  Then printing it out, you would just put
the pointer at the beginning and it will read through the file.  With the
random access, I can get any record I specify which is in an array.  Did I get
this right?? Thanks again..Dave.
