*** PLEASE REPLY BY MAIL -- THESE GROUPS DO NOT RELIABLY REACH MY SYSTEM ***

Is there a way to force the FATs and the directory entry to be updated
without closing and re-opening a file?  I have a data collection system
that needs to minimize data loss in case of a power failure or other
crash.  Only the data which are written to the file but not yet
reflected in the FAT and/or directory entry are at risk.
