- I want to know how to read the starting sector of a file. I also
- want to know how to create a sequential file of fixed length. I want
- to do all this so I can do more direct I/O to the disk and (hopefully)
- realize some performance gains over normal DOS or C-lib file I/O functions.
- Any references to good books on this sort of thing would also be
- appreciated.
