write fails

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Jon

i use open file x for append... For log files, it is crucial not to erase 
the logs...

And while the |put data into url thisurl" is great, and easy but i 
wouldn't consider it as
a good practice if the file is over a certain size... 

but of course, depends on the application...
