Axel, thanks for such a clear write-up.
I was convinced to use low-order ASCII values as my delimiters (FS and
RS). Since I'm really only dealing with *typeable* ASCII in this case,
these don't threaten the atomicity of my fields - and they are being
handled properly.
So now I can retrieve individual records as reasonably-sized lists.
If I ever have to deal with the entire ASCII character set, I'll have
to come up with a different approach (prefixing records and fields with
length fields).
Thanks again,
Chap
