Can anyone tell me how to increase the size of the system buffer associated
with the read() and write() commands in C 3.2?

I need to copy a large file, and it seems the system buffer size is rather
small.  It takes about 4 times as long to copy the file using a read() followed
by a write() than it does when I just use the OS9 copy command, specifying "
-b=64k ".

I've read all the manuals, and OS-0 Insights implies that it is possible to
increase the system buffer size, but I haven't found any way to do it.

Any ideas?

Bill
