David, I found the definition of ACTION_READ_RETURN, but no clue as to its purpose. I was just wondering – when Write (or ACTION_WRITE) fails due to a disk full condition, does it actually write as many bytes as possible first, or does it realise that there is no room for the block of data, and not write any bytes at all? The latter would seem to be more convenient for the programmer calling the routine, and perhaps this is what actually happens. If so, you're in luck. Unfortunately, I don't have this information. If you try writing a 900k block to disk, does anything get written at all? Regards, Shraddhan – via Whap! from Hertfordshire in the UK
