- BUFFERIO is a Turbo Pascal unit that intercepts normal
- untyped file I/O calls and buffers them for files of record
- length one. The program that I developed the unit for sped
- up by a factor of three when I used it. This is a
- preliminary beta release (number 0.90) of the unit; in it,
- only reads are buffered.
-
- To use the unit, put a USES clause for it into each
- program or unit that does I/O to files to be buffered. It
- is important to put the clause in all such modules;
- otherwise, the program will not work properly.
-
- The unit has been placed in the public domain, but I
- intend to provide at least minimal support to it. Please
- send bug reports, enhancement requests, and so on to me at
- CompuServe ID 71320,3635.
-
- I'm currently contemplating the following enhancements,
- in approximate order of their likelihoods: write buffering,
- adjustable-size buffers, EMS support, extended memory
- support, and support file files of larger record lengths.
- Feel free to implement any of these in the unit and
- redistribute it; I don't care how complicated version
- numbers and such get.
