Hi all,

When using FOPEN, there are the options for read only or buffered/unbuffered.

If I am just reading a static file on disk, that is not open by anyone else, should I used buffered or unbuffered. I am asking because the help file does not really say what buffering does so hard to know which to use. Does buffered means the file is loaded into memory? I only need to read the first 1000 bytes of a file before doing something else with the whole file.

Thanks,
Albert
