      - Okay I figured it out. - Peter Swinkels (Thu Oct 24 2024 at 1:09 pm)
        maybe sizeof(struct ClockStr)? - Plasma (Thu Oct 24 2024 at 6:37 pm)

      - Did some testing. - Peter Swinkels (Thu Oct 3 2024 at 1:18 pm)
        Maybe QB is letting you read past the end of the "file" - Plasma (Thu Oct 3 2024 at 6:53 pm)
        I did some more testing with some interesting results-> - Peter Swinkels (Fri Oct 4 2024 at 1:00 pm)

        Repeated uses of INPUT$ with very small buffer causes crashes-> - Peter Swinkels (Mon Oct 7 2024 at 1:00 pm)
        I think the actual INPUT$ buffer is internal - Plasma (Mon Oct 7 2024 at 4:51 pm)
