Hi, Andy,
My apologies. I was not catching on that you meant in reference to file
handling. I guess I should have figured that out from the context.
:-)
By the way, if you are using network reads, Petr K. figured out that the
following works. Don't ask _me_ why. It seems to be the only exception to
the rule about /skip refinement bug. Curious. It may be a solution to your
problem, depending.
port: open/direct/binary/no-wait/skip http://www.rebol.com/graphics/kits.jpg
