Hi:
under Oberon System there is a pair of procedures
Files.WriteNum/ReadNum taht writes/reads integer numbers
on variable number of output bytes, depending on the number.
Eg, LONGINT's in the range -63..64 are stored as only one byte,
even though internally they use 4 bytes.
I wonder if BlackBox Stores utilizes this storage format,
or does it always use same number of bytes = SIZE(int_type).
Is there any standard procedure available equivalent to
Files.WriteNum/ReadNum ??
