TBufferedFile 0.20

****************
**Introduction**
****************
Some time ago i had to write some rotines to buffer the read and write operations 
to a file to make the app faster. Now i had some free time and decided to make a 
component with them. Well, here it is...

This is still a buggy beta, so if anyone wants to help finding bugs or 
adding features-and some new bugs :) please feel free to do so.
Send me the modified source and i will include it in the next release 
(of cource i will credit you for your work).

This class is more usefull when you write/read lots of small pieces of data 
into/from a file

****************
***Known Bugs***
****************

There are so many i've lost count. :)
But none of them stops this componet from working correctly. I hope.

****************
**Limitations***
****************

-You can only read or write to a file
-Uses lots of memory

****************
**Future Plans**
****************

-Add Read/Write
-Improve the memory usage
-Make the read method a lot faster
-IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGESTIONS PLEASE MAIL THEM TO ME

This are just topics with will be added in the future to TBufferedFile but probably not 
by wont be added by this order.
