Hi, Bob.

BL>   I have a buffer and want to insert and delete things, so I use
BL> move() in Pascal. I'm actually writing PKT information into the buffer
BL> and then changing the buffer to QWK format before I write it to a file.

BL>   When I move part of the buffer along a bit, does every byte get
BL> moved along? Would it therefore be quicker if I used two separate
BL> buffers, one for PKT and the other for QWK? I could write the QWK
BL> buffer sequentially, just moving pointers in the buffers and
BL> copying across.

That's exactly what you should be doing.

Regards, fIM.
