Subject: random file record size
 
The message I just posted was the same as this. I was about to go off
about the stuck-up C programmers in IRC but couldn't find the point of
it, then forgot to change the subject as I asked my question. 
 
Why would one have records in a random access file 1024 bytes each?
A program I use has records like that. The data for each record only
makes up 468 bytes and the extra unused 556 bytes goes into an unused
string variable, making the records 1024 bytes each.
 
If there's a reason for this, is the same true for records of 2048,
4096, etc. bytes each? How about 512, 256, 128, etc. bytes?
