No you can't because the definition of "streaming" is to use the data as it comes down the wire. So CMD.BAT format disk CMD.BAT rem format disk If the TOC only points to the second CMD.BAT then executing the first one as you stream it is wrong.

> If the TOC only points to the second CMD.BAT then executing the first one as you stream it is wrong. The output directory contains the second CMD.BAT when you're done processing, whether you use the streaming algorithm or you consult the TOC, because in the streaming algorithm you simply overwrite the second CMD.BAT (if you created it as a result of the first CMD.BAT) with the new contents.

  There's no point in "streaming" if you're not using the data as it arrives. That's the entire meaning of "streaming".

    What else can you do? You can't wait for the "central directory" record at the end, because now you've missed everything (you can't stream backwards!)
