So far this is simplifying the code, but the +synchronization method has not yet been settled, but POSIX semaphores in the +mmap region is most likely. Possibly each record will have a separate +semaphore. + +Output +====== +The output is intended to be line-wrapped progamatically rather than hard coded +line lengths. This allows much better flexability. However, the current text +reads very choppy, so this retrofit may take a very long time. -- GitLab
