Question:
   I have a large application written in MS-Pascal and I would like to force
the flushing of the I/O buffer. The file is open in DIRECT mode and is a
binary file.  Is there any way to do this short of closing and reopening the
file?

Response:
   At this time, there is no way to flush the I/O buffer without closing the
file.
