You mean correctly formatted records with the 20 byte header filled
properly, along with adherence to the freechain backword and forward
pointers and first byte status?  This seems like an awful lot of work (if
he, whoever that is, is actually doing this. Why not just put the records
into any text file, and have a filePro process read them into new records in
the desired database periodically, and then delete those just added from
this text file? Then, at least filePro does everything it has to do viz
header and indexing. It think sometimes people take the long route to
solving requirements. This sounds like one of those times.
