In an article in RUN or Compute's Gazette a year or so ago (I could get the reference if you're interested), it was claimed that some relative file bugs could be avoided if you also positioned the pointer AFTER a read or write. I never checked this out myself, having memories of earlier unhappy encounters with relative files. It's amazing that such a potentially useful feature was so badly done and documented.
