Java Creating a file in variable length format

Hi all,

Does anyone know a technique for creating a download file in variable length format? I have looked around but haven't found any resources on this (or, maybe I'm not sure what to Google for Smilie )

Thanks in advance!

XmImVaSetValues(library call)											     XmImVaSetValues(library call)

NAME
XmImVaSetValues -- An input manager function that updates attributes of an input context SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/XmIm.h> void XmImVaSetValues( Widget widget); DESCRIPTION
XmImVaSetValues updates attributes of the input context associated with the specified widget. This function passes the attributes to XIC- SetValues. The initial call to this routine should pass in all of the input context attributes. Thereafter, the application programmer calls XmImVaSetValues only if a value has changed. See the description in the XmImSetValues(3) man page for a list of associated resources. This routine uses the ANSI C variable-length argument list (varargs) calling convention. The variable-length argument list consists of groups of arguments each of which contains an attribute followed by the value of the attribute. The last argument in the list must be NULL. Note that the List and TextField widgets call the XmImVaSetValues function internally. Therefore, further calls to the XmImVaSetValues function for these widgets are unnecessary. widget Specifies the ID of the widget registered with the input manager For more information on variable-length argument lists, see the X Toolkit Intrinsics documentation.
