Subject: programming channels on IRC
 
I tried asking this in IRC, but the egotistical C programmers there
don't like anyone who doesn't use C.
 
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?
