How to use SEEK on big files ???

[Jhd.Honza]

I would like to set a position in a file, but SEEK has only integer input and I need to go further then only 32k. Has anybody more productive idea then go to maxim position and read continuously?

Thanks,
John

It's possible, I suppose, to do something like the following:



GET fileno, readlocation-2, a%
PUT fileno, readlocation-2, a%

.
.
.



This will emulate SEEK.

Ok, come to think of it, this will do:


GET fileno, readpos-2, a%

You must first seek to the beginning.
