Sorry guys, Im afraid I STILL havent done a real read-through the last few posts. But I will!

I'm busy fighting my file-reader coding ATM. Pointer issues... no surprise! Im NOT looking for help on that though, cause I need to
get back up-to-speed with pointers anyway, and I'll get there soon enough. Then I'll get back on track with my thread testing.

But in the meantime, as an off-topic (hey! Its MY thread, I can do it!), can anyone answer these API questions?

1> The "FileCreate" in my sample code is causing a noticable 'lag' when FIRST opening the file in question. This makes me suspect that
the WHOLE file is being cached somewhere. Is my suspicion correct?

2> Is this file being cached INSIDE the acknex workspace, or is it being cached by the OS somewhere outside? ( my diagnostic attemps were inconclusive)

3> Is there any way to prevent the cacheing, or to limit the size of the 'chunk' being cached? (for this ONE file, and from within API)

For these questions, I need to TRY and keep with OpenFile for its ability to allow control of the internal file pointer when retrieving data.

Thanks guys.


PS: Damn, this off-topic nearly deserves its own thread, but we'll see how it goes. Maybe later.
