Hello. A coworker and I are trying read,ASYNC and find that it behaves
like regular read. How we determine that is by reading a large block
from a file and the call doesn't return until a lot of disk activity 
completes. I can understand that on a cheap mac maybe the two could be
the same but this in on a IIfx. I havn't found a reasonable def'n of
what read,ASYNC will do for me, I had hoped to get a non-blocking file
read. Has anyone found a way to get a non-blocking file read? 

Thanks, Hedley
