If i have TWO  datastructures w/ NO pointers, and I know that i am only going
to save one of each and accordingly will read only one of each, How would
I save these both into ONE file.
To save them into two files would be an easy matter...
TP has a type file; which is an untyped file, but the reset/rewrite command
asks for the byte size of the data structure and as I can call reset/rewrite
only once (since it resets to the beginning of the data file) the untyped file;
format defeats it's own purpose for me.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

by the way 
  reset(f,1) { set the byte size to one }
  blockread(f,c,sizeof(c),recordread);
doesn't work either..
