I looked around my old code and figured out what I did.

I wrote a script something like that and had it simply display the file and
for adding things it appended it to the end of the file.  I provided a
"packing" utility that could be run after each call to cut the file to
the desired number of entries.

It just read the entire file and only kept the last X number of entries
and re-wrote the file.  Pretty simple to do really..
