Yes, you suggest this to me sometimes... ;-)
But it would then be necessary to change the rest of the config code to use
IFF also.
I'm quite happy with the existing code (which I want to take over from my
previous program), and I'm not sure if using IFF would make the main problem
simpler.

Please look at my second reply in this thread for more information on my
idea.

This is what I'm currently doing. Currently every record in the file also
has a ID number, and I want to change this. When reading all entries at once
the IDs won't be needed and I could insert everything at once.
